Light Requirements: Direct Sun - Bright indirect light. Needs lots of hours in bright light to thrive.

Growth & Nutrients: A clumping, branching succulent that sends growth vertically. Can grow outdoors in patios. Suits apartments or homes of any size. Feed with only small amounts of general-purpose fertiliser for containers from the start of spring each year to autumn when growth slows down.

Temperature, Humidity & Ambient requirements: Prefers warm environments inside, grows well in a range of humidity.

Toxicity: Toxic to pets and people. Sap is an irritant and should not be touched, consumed or handled without gloves.

Plant Size Guide

The plant in the photos is an example and an approximate guide only however we try to show an average sized example. Sizes, flowering state and colours change throughout the seasons and variation will occur. In summer & autumn, plants are often larger or the same size as than the example picture but around winter and spring, they can be a little smaller but still at a size similar to the example. We aim to update the pictures to reflect significant differences.

Plant Heights - because the plant's foliage must fit inside our Plant Cartons, the actual height of a plant's central trunk (meristem) will be shorter than the box it fits in.

Small Plants - 14cm wide nursery pot - 1 Litre volume - Plants fit in a 50cm tall box.

Medium Plants -  17cm wide pots either 2L hanging pot or 2.5L nursery pot - Plants fit in a 75cm tall box.

Large Plants - 25cm wide pot, 10L volume. Plants fit in a 100cm tall box.

XL Plants - Plants over 100cm tall in pot sizes specified, 25cm/10L or greater and are hand delivered within Auckland/Northland only.

Plants in Transit

Each Small, Medium & Large plant is individually contained within its own protective cardboard Plant Carton which may be joined to other cartons in your order.

Plants typically take just a day or two to arrive, however they are usually fine in their cartons for 1-2 weeks, and many can go longer, so a few extra days are not usually cause for concern.

Whether it takes 1 or 7 days, let your plant recover from its journey by placing in gentle light and adding a little water and it will be back to its best within a couple of days. Let us know if there are any major issues via the contact page.

Just like the picture. Incredibly well packaged. Only a little soil disturbance after its long journey to the south island (plus rural delivery) but no adverse effect on plant. Repotted it after a week and going strong.

perfectly packaged castle cactus

Love this plant, perfect mix of spikey and leafy, the quality of the one I bought from PlantHouse is amazing! So healthy and had lots of vigorous growth points... looked even better than the pics on the website. The packaging is super secure and it arrived looking like it had never even been in transit, everything wonderfully in tact. Strong root system so it stood up straught as if never boxed up.

Thanks Fiona, you can cut off those new branches (wear gloves as the sap is sticky and toxic) then dry them for a week and plant back into the base of the pot to get a full Castle display.
