Santa Rita X Beavertail Hybrid Purchase

Very satisfied with my purchase so far. Cactus Outlet representative answered my questions before I made my purchase. He completed my purchase efficiently and without problems. The plant shipped very quickly and arrived in good shape as it was well packed. Included planting and watering instructions were helpful. Now I will wait a few months and see if my plant successfully grows. My experience with Cactus Outlet was very positive and I highly recommend them. Thanks guys.

Too early to tell, but we like our new cactus

I’ve potted this cactus and I move it out when it’s sunny and under cover when it rains. I will keep it inside this winter and hope to plant it permanently outside next May. If it survives all that and looks good in 2026, I’ll be super happy.
