The 2026 season is rolling! 

We’re rocking things a little differently this season, with frequent random drops hitting the store without announcement. 

Check back regularly to see what’s landed.

The 1-Code second cycle selection process will begin soon. Once the final selections are locked in, the release schedule will be published.

We’ve got a killer line-up ahead, with a continued focus on high-grade specimen-sized plants, carefully curated bundles and, of course... the best Lobivia flowers in the country, brought to you by Australia’s leading Lobivia producer.

About us


We’re a small cacti and succulent nursery in Victoria, specializing in rare and unique plants.

Everything we offer is grown slowly and carefully—by me—ensuring each plant is strong, resilient, and ready to thrive in your collection.

Unlike the big, mass-market nurseries that rush their plants, I take my time to grow high-quality cacti and succulents that will live long, happy lives with you.

What We Grow and Where We Ship

Our nursery specialises in rare and unusual cactus and succulents, shipped safely across Australia - including Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia.

As Australia’s leading Lobivia producer, we focus heavily on unique hybrids and cultivars but our collection spans many world-class genera:

Copiapoa - cactus collection royalty, slow-growing plants from Chile with frosty skin and dark spines.

Ariocarpus - renowned for their sculptural tubercles, including hybrids and cultivars like Godzilla, Maruibo and Cauliflower.

Astrophytum - from classic star-shaped asterias to bold Kikko forms and striking variegates.

Gymnocalycium - textured bodies, rugged spines and impressive flowers.

Eriosyce, Echinopsis, Conophytum, Lithops and many more rare cactus and succulents.

From tiny seed-grown miniatures to mature specimens, we grow and ship premium plants to collectors across Australia.
