Cactus kingdom pretty darn good.
July 4, 2021

My few times buying stuff from this stores website and I am not disappointed on how quickly everything arrives. Cannot wait for more different cacti to add to my collection thanks to these guys for starting me off.

Very satisfied!
March 3, 2022

Iv made a few orders with Cactus Kingdom. I picked up some seeds and growing medium, as of writing this review about 80% of the seeds have popped up and I'm waiting on another order. I am extremely happy. Shipping was Good and they responded to emails after I made a mistake on an order.
This site is legit 5/5

TERRIBLE
September 4, 2021

None of my seeds grew, I did my regular process. As I do with others, because I already have some experience. Although I did it, none of it worked and they all just sat there and not a single plant came out

Very happy with purchase
June 24, 2021

A few months in, every variety of seed has sprouted. Overall, very high take rate with the seeds I received. I would definitely purchase again if I'm looking for more fun succulents or cacti to grow.

Happy overall, would order from here again
January 17, 2021

It took a while to receive my order, about 4-5 weeks, but I was send bonus seeds because of such a long wait. They did reply the same day when I sent them an email looking for shipment ETA. Good overall. I would order from them again

Very impressed
July 1, 2021

Ordered a trichocereus pachanoi and it was beyond my expectations. It was huge, well and safely packaged and in wonderful shape when it arrived. Planted in cactus soil with extra perlite and it growing like mad. Will definitely order from here again.

Cactus shipment
January 21, 2021

Just received my package in the mail today. Was very careful and thoughtfully packaged, with no damage to the Cacti whatsoever. Was apprehensive to order in the winter months, but they arrived healthy and intact. Will definitely be a repeat customer!

Order update
December 17, 2020

My order was shipped December 7th and haven't had any official updates from Canada Post but the team has kept me in the loop from what they see. I know I will be doing business with them again, the only thing keeping me from writing a review is the package not being in my possession. But they assure I'll be compensated regardless.

Waited months for rotting cactus
May 21, 2021

I ordered a live cactus that arrive already with root rot after waiting forever for it to even arrive. I had someone more experienced with cactus let me know i wasted $65 as the base of the peyote is squishy. I begrudgingly ordered more seeds and also regret that now as the processing and shipping is the longest I've ever experienced.

Hi Amanda W,
Why did it take 3 months to come to this conclusion?
You ordered your cactus back on March 8th. This is the first time we are hearing about any issues with the plant 3 months later and after you have placed other orders. When you were emailing us regrading your difficulty with the newest order why was this again not mentioned? We suspect, if we did send a rotting cactus you would not have ordered again one month later. Squishy does not mean rot root. If you want a proper diagnosis on what is actually going on without speculating please contact us directly regarding your cactus.

We cannot be perpetually responsible for a plants welfare many months later, especially with difficult cacti that require special care. We provide all the tools required to care for these special gems and are glad to answer any questions. I understand you may be angry, however at some point you are responsible for the survival of your plant months later!

Regarding your second order - It took one week to process and ship as it was a large seed order. Understandably Canada Post shipping is delayed nation wide due to the on-going pandemic and workplace restrictions. There is a note regarding this front and centre on the website warning of the shipping delays and I think everyone understands this. We do also offer express shipping online if something is urgent, however, again it wasn't selected.

Growing rare succulents and cacti from seed may be the wrong hobby with such little patience. All good things come to those who wait.

Seeds Arrived but
August 4, 2021

The cactus seeds arrived but there was no instructions or species identification. Web-site given but info seemed too general.
Seeds have not germinated but that can happen or will

Awesome store

Huge Disappointment
March 21, 2018

Ordered unrooted Pereskiopsis Spathulata cuttings. They arrived to my great dismay in a simple, unprotected bubble envelope, completely crushed to goo and dripping green juice out of the package. Barely recognizable and utterly useless to me as grafting stock. Horrifying that anyone could imagine shipping plants this way and expect them to arrive in any other condition. This seller obviously does not care at all about the customer or the plants they sell. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

The deplorable condition my cuttings arrived in.

Review
June 1, 2021

The tracking info was never sent/updated. My cactus was sitting at the post office for a couple days without me knowing. When I contacted cactus kingdom it seemed like this happened often.

Hi Matt,
If a package is delivered to a post office for pickup a notification card is should be left at the door indicating where and when to pick it up. *Assuming a notice card was indeed left by the postal worker; most people are able to read their notification slips and pick up their parcels without delay. Sorry you experienced a delay.
We are glad to hear everything was received well.
Thank you!

Delivery of Seeds
January 29, 2021

The seeds were delivered in a nice package and were in great shape.The real problem may be if they germinate. I planted them when I got them and now have to wait to see the germination rate.
