Few plants are as instantly recognizable as the saguaro cactus.
Native to the Sonoran Desert, this majestic plant brings dramatic height, sculptural form, and true Southwest character to any space. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, it’s now easier than ever to order cactus plants online—including your very own saguaro cactus.
Why Choose a Saguaro Cactus?
The saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea) is more than just a cactus—it’s a symbol of endurance and beauty. With proper care, this slow-growing plant can thrive for decades and become a stunning centerpiece in any xeriscape or minimalist garden.
At The Cactus Outlet, we offer healthy, carefully grown saguaro cactus plants for sale, shipped directly from our Arizona nursery to your doorstep.
How to Care for Your Saguaro Cactus
1. Pick the Right Spot
Saguaros need full sun. Outdoors, choose a south- or west-facing location. Indoors, place the pot in the sunniest window possible.
2. Use the Right Soil
Well-drained, sandy soil is critical. Poor drainage can lead to root rot. Choose cactus-specific soil or amend with pumice and coarse sand.
3. Water with Intention
Water only when the soil is fully dry—usually once every 3–4 weeks during warm months. In winter, watering may not be necessary at all.
4. Watch the Temperature
While mature saguaros tolerate some frost, young plants should be protected from freezing temps. Many customers choose to keep their saguaro for sale in containers so they can move them inside during cold snaps.
