Ordered Mammillaria geminispina
I ordered Mammillaria geminispina which arrived in good time, was well packaged and is a lovely plant. It also came with its plant passport, growing tips and a free pen. Very pleased with the plant and the service. The only negative was that it had to be signed for which caused a couple of problems and seemed a bit OTT. Lovely plant and would highly recommend this company who I shall do business with again.

Beautiful big Peyote
This is the first time I've bought from Desert Plants and I'm totally blown away with the service! I bought a large Peyote which is in fabulous health with huge long roots! I just hope I can keep it that way! Thank you too for the pen which was a little surprise! Plant was packaged very well too. Thank you so much

The cactus was the size I expected it was wrapped very carefully and it arrived a day earlier than advertised so I am very happy. I will be visiting the website again soon to see what other plants take my fancy . Thank you

I will give Desert plants a glowing review it’s a delight to do business with them .
Ordering is straight forward and the speed of delivery is amazing.
This is my second order off Desert plants and the cacti came well protected and healthy .
My cacti had a slight bruise on it but this would have been through delivery as I’ve had no problems in the past and it’s not really an issue.
I cannot rate this company highly enough it’s a pleasure to do business with and I won’t hesitate to order again from them in the future .
Thanks again Desert plants 🌵💚

What an incredible online shop!
What an incredible online shop! Fantastic plants, fantastic quality of plants and delivery was quick. The plant that arrived was very healthy and a gorgeous lime green colour.
I can't wait to order some more (but I may have to wait for pay day!) and have been 'stalking' the various pages of what to purchase next.
10/10, would highly recommend. Thank you so much!
