Unique Cactus of the Month Clubs + Cacti Gifts

Because cacti and succulents are so closely related, cactus of the month clubs are a bit on the rare side since cacti are often included in succulent of the month clubs. However, there are a couple of cactus subscriptions, and several cactus gift options available, ideal for any cactus lover in your life.

And honestly, the idea is well worth the effort. Cacti are one of the most unique plants in the world. There are more than 2,000 different cactus species in the world. They come in an array of shapes and sizes, ranging from few inches tall to more than 30 feet high.

Cacti are native to the Americas and not naturally found in Africa, Europe, or Australia. However, the first one in history dates back to 50 million years ago in the Utah area.

Cacti are a subfamily of succulents. What separates cactus from other succulents is that they must possess areoles. Spines of the cacti, hair, leaves, or flowers grow from these are small mounds that are round and cushion-like. Areoles are specific to cacti, and no other succulents have them.

However, though all cactus are succulents, not all succulents are cacti. Additionally, there are some botanists and horticulturists that categorize cacti separate from other plant groups, including succulents. Ultimately, it is safe to say that regardless of which way you look at them, cacti are a distinct plant group.

Cacti have grown in popularity and are often known as a charming, easy plant to grow in arid climates. Their unique ability to thrive in dry desert-like conditions as well as store water in their stems, leaves, and roots, make these plants quite desirable. Many cacti varieties produce beautiful vibrant flowers, adding to their general overall appeal.

Though these plants are known for their hardiness, they do have a weakness when it comes to humid areas or climates of excessive cold. However, an artificial environment can be created to allow cacti to flourish in any home.

But what makes cactus especially desirable is their multifunctional abilities, such as acting as food for humans, feed for animals, construction material, medicine and drugs, oils, and cosmetics.

So then, let’s take a look at some cactus clubs that will deliver these amazing plants straight to your home.

But if you would rather not buy all three items, you can choose to omit either the bracelet or t-shirt.

And they also have a cactus gift box that comes in four different sizes, containing either 3, 6, 12, or 15 cacti.

Shipping varies depending on the season, but spring and summer deliveries are sent out five days a week, with three different shipping method choices. You may choose from first-class, Priority Mail, or standard ground USPS.

Wild Earth Studio

Wild Earth Studio offers a unique cacti gift, Cactus Cutting Variety Box Sonoran Desert Succulents Box, for the person with a green thumb. Unlike most cactus gift boxes, this one offers cuttings rather than whole plant options. However, even if the recipient is new to gardening, this gift box is perfect since cactus is one of the easiest plants to grow.

All of the cuttings are native Arizona species harvested from the owner’s ranch. Each box contains ten to eleven distinct varieties, all carefully packed before shipping. The cactus varieties included all produce either flowers or edible fruit. Due to supply changes, the box now contains two chollas and two Santa Ritas instead of the Indian Fig, which is no longer available.

Some of the cactus come in fun colors such as the Santa Rita Prickly Pear, which is a bright purple. Or the Pencil Cholla, which changes to a reddish hue in the summer months. And the fuzzy white Pincushion cactus produces vibrant magenta flowers that later produce red fruit in the shape of chili peppers.

In addition to the cactus cuttings, each gift box includes care and planting instructions. The gift box costs $22.99, plus shipping.

1-800 Flowers

Though they started just with flowers, this company has expanded into other gift markets such as gourmet treats, fruit, wine, and keepsake items.

And to ensure they are providing premium selections, they have partnered with other industry leaders such as Harry and David, Shari’s Berries, Simply Chocolate, Cheryl’s Cookies, Wolferman’s Bakery, Fruit Bouquets, and Stockyards.

But if you are looking for a gift for that cactus lover in your life they offer a cactus dish garden in three different sizes. Small costs $39.99, medium costs $49.99, and large costs $59.99.

Each one offers an assortment of cacti varying in color, type, and size. Plus, each dish contains hard soil with dry redwood bark to add to the overall aesthetics of the gift.
