The night blooming Queen of
the Night (Only a few
left, buy soon if you want one!) Queen of the Night $24.95 We have a limited
supply of the night blooming Hylocereus Undatus. These are rooted cuttings,
growing potted, as shown (but shipped bareroot). Each order receives 2-3
stems, sized between 10 and 24 inches. The Queen of the Night shoots out a
very large white bloom one a year, but only at night... so you'll have to
wait until well after dark to see it. This plant grows rapidly, it isn't
uncommon for one to have a dozen or more blooms at the same time. Once the
plant matures, it produces a pinkish-red edible fruit known as Dragon Fruit.
The fruit of the Queen of the Night is called Dragon Fruit and pictured here
for sale in a market in Taiwan. You won't believe the pink and green colors!
We like to refrigerate it for a day before cutting in half and eating with a
spoon. It usually takes a couple of years before the plant produces fruit.
Albuca Aughrabies Hills
Albuca plants are bulb-type plants which produce delicate long leaves. (And
beautiful flowers, too, this one was flowering in October). They originated
in South Africa and make excellent indoor plants. Some say that they have a
mild vanilla scent, as well.
They are generally reverse-seasoned,
meaning that their growing season is our winter and they are dormant in the
summer. During dormancy, they require very little water.
The albuca makes an excellent
house plant and will thrive in a sunny window.

Aloe Juvena $1
We have a temporary oversupply of these cute little mini-aloe juvena plants,

they like bright sunlight and warmth.
Offered while supplies last for $1 each!
Stapelia Grandiflora &
Variagata Starter Combo These two stapelia plants are all-time

year, they tend to bloom in the summer). They like filtered light and
moderate water, they will grow well indoors and outside (in many climates).
They work well in a hanging basket. Your are purchasing "starters" which
are rooted stems. Each stem is about 4-6 inches tall (some may already be
branched). Your order will consist of four or five rooted stems of each
plant. They can be planted in the container of your choice (we don't
recommend combining them into a single pot). Get them planted now, go easy
during winter dormancy and you should have a couple of nice flowering plants
for next summer! $11.50 While Supplies Last
Out of Africa
Aloe Marlothii
One of the most stunning plants in Africa is the Aloe Marlothii. It is found
from sea level to high hills in countries such as Swaziland, Zimbabwe,
Botswana and Mozambique. The plant usually grows to a height ranging from
5-12 feet. (As it grows more tree-like, dead leaves remain on the trunk in
habitat as a defense against animal munching.) They put out a flower that is
a branched candelabra-shaped with yellow to orange flowers.
These are prime healthy young plants about 4-5 inches tall. They are ready
for an 8-12 inch pot... and given growing room for their roots will take
off! Be sure to give them growing room...
$4.00
Rare White Senecio
This is one of nature's only white colored plants. Very slow to root (we
wanted to have these in early summer but they are only now ready to go),
these plants make a wonderful potted plant or outdoor decorative plant.
These are quite large, shown growing in 6-inch pots (but shipped bareroot
for easy planting upon arrival). They consist of 2-3 stems and are about 6-8
inshes tall. (One note: planting in shade may cause them to begin to turn
green... this is remedied by giving them more sun.)
$11.95
Aloe Breviflora
Save 50% - Special Price
The breviflora is a beautiful blue-colored aloe, when exposed to sun they
turn pink at the tips. These are excellent plants to grow indoors or out.

robust clump in a few years.
These are about 4 inches diamter, very well rooted, they can be potted in an
8 inch pot for best growth.
Special price: $5.00
Opuntia Pads! When people ask us which plant they
can use to create a fast growing fence, we usually suggest the opuntia. Also
called the Paddle Cactus, these plants are very tolerant of almost all
environmental conditions and once rooted grow amazingly fast. In a season, a
rooted pad will put out a couple of generations of "ears" ... and in a
couple of years they rapidly expand in breadth and height.
Very easy care: plant in dry soil, water only after roots come out in a few
weeks... sit back and don't do much else. Some water once in a while is
about all they require.
You can even eat your fence! The young opuntia pads (not the ones we ship,
but the future generations) are known as "nopal" in Latin America and can be
chopped into a salad or cooked like a squash. (Of course, they must be
skinned and have the spines removed first.) Around here at Cactus Limon, we
like cooked in a little oil, then topped with cheese, then topped with
salsa. Yum!
Three opuntia pads for $15
Gasteria

easy to propagate from shoots. Has a nice small yellow flower (currently
flowering, you have to look closely). Sensitive to water, needs to be dry
during winter dormancy. We have a very limited supply.
$5.00
Kalanchoe
Thrysfolia
We thought this season's crop was gone, but we found a few more of these fun
flapjacks! This is a great indoor plant, the leaves can grow quite large and
still retain their oval-round shape. They add a nice burst of red-pink color
to your room or garden. Easy care, but they need fairly bright sunlight to
retain the red coloration.

are about 18-20 inches tall.
The Brighamia Insignis is also called the Hawaiian Palm. Native to Hawaii,
in nature the plant has become nearly extinct due to the demise of the
sphingid moth, it's only natural source of pollination. Specialty growers
are keeping this plant alive in cultivation. (Our supply is greenhouse grown
from seed by a specialty grower in California.)
The soft wooded stem can grow at maturity up to six feet tall and a foot in
diameter. A tuft of leaves about 5-6 inches tall grow at the top. The plant
annually has clusters of yellow flowers.

The Golden Ball Cactus
Cute Little Fuzzy Yellow Notocactus

nevertheless, they are spines.)
Notocactus are native to Brazil and Uruguay, where they grow in a dry
climate of wide temperature variations -- from almost freezing to extremely
hot. They are easy care plants, requiring little water (once a month,
perhaps) in winter and a bit more during their summer growing season. These

Care: Lithops need sufficient light,
good ventilation. Plants should be kept totally dry from October until
Spring. During this time, the plant will generate a new body, consuming the
moisture and nutients of the previous body. Watering can start when the
remains of the old plant are shrivelled and dry (around May to July). Allow
the soil to completely dry out between waterings. Lithops should be planted
in cacti mix with perlite or grit, to ensure good drainage.
Lithops Karasmontana
Mickbergensis Lithops are known as living rocks or living stones. They
originated in Nambibia and South Africa, where they have become highly
adapted to the heat and drought conditions.
The Karasmontana Mickbergensis is a grey colored lithops, with hints of
pink, it has a textured top surface. These plants are about 3/4 inch
diameter. Why do they look like stones? Lithops
mimic the soil and stones of their natural habitat as camoflage from animals
and people. The plants’ body consists of a pair of leaves that have evolved
into their primary moisture gathering tool. In some areas where they grow,
rainfall may not occur for extended periods, so water conservation of water
is vital. The rounded shape of the leaves, evolved to reduce evaporation,
gives the plants the appearance of a pebble.

branches, sometimes resembling a saguaro cactus. Each column is between 8-11
inches tall, fully rooted. $23.95 SORRY, SOLD OUT OF THIS
