Currently bang on trend with a dedicated Instagram following, you can't escape the images of cacti which are everywhere! With our collection of six tried and tested plants, this is your opportunity to join in with the cactus revolution. Cacti have evolved for arid living - they are used to very little water, hot days and chilly nights so are perfectly adapted to modern home living! Needing very little in the way of care, cacti are the ideal houseplant for everyone from beginners to experts. Happy in a sandy compost, with plenty of light and a little water now and again, your cactus collection will thrive. Built to conserve moisture, they'll tolerate being dry and will explode into growth when watered correctly (just don't overwater them - they hate it and will curl up their toes). If you want to do less and get more out of your plants, then these cacti are your go-to plants! Slow-growing, they are the perfect living sculpture for home decoration, and will grow and age with you. There's a cactus for everyone, with spines, without spines, with flowers, tall, squat, round, ribbed, lobed and trailing - truly a plant of many forms. They're ideal to get kids interested in gardening with their alien shapes, all you need is a little care with the spiny ones, but then you can always pick one of the spineless or furry ones! Supplied as a collection of 6 mixed plants in 5.5cm nursery pots, ready to go on a windowsill near you now! Plant types may vary depending on availability. Remember that cacti are prickly beggars - always wear protective clothing when handling.Care GuideAlways use specialist cactus compost when potting. This is sandier and grittier than ordinary compost which helps keep the plants dry. Keep plants frost free - although some will tolerate low temperature, in general they need to be kept above 8-10C, so make ideal houseplants. While cacti survive on little water, they will not thrive. From April to September, water weekly, allowing the compost to soak up water and drain freely. Feed with a general-purpose feed at 1/4 strength once a fortnight. From October to March, water only when the compost has dried and then only enough to stop plants shrivelling. Keep your plants in bright, but not direct sunlight an east or west facing windowsill is ideal. Dust can build up over time, so keep a soft paintbrush handy to remove it as necessary. Remember that cacti are prickly beggars - always wear protective clothing when handling.This product is offered for sale for home delivery exclusively via our website only.

The Venus Fly Trap is an iconic insect eating plant and will be a brilliant talking point for the home. The jawed traps spring shut when triggered by a passing insect and begin the process of digesting the victim to release the valuable nutrients. This is a variety which can grow traps over 2.5cm (1in) and is one of the larger plants offered for sale so you don't have to wait years to get a substantial number of traps. The plant attracts insects by releasing a scent which mimics those emitted by fruits and flowers. The lobes of each trap secrete a sweet mucous which act as an attractant along with red colouring which intensifies in bright summer sun, fooling the insect into thinking that it is a flower. The traps of this fascinating plant are shaped from the ends of the leaves, with specially adapted hair-like sensors which cause the trap to be triggered when touched two or three times in quick succession. This prevents accidental triggering by rain or debris falling in and the traps are also clever enough not to close on tiny insects which would waste valuable energy for very little return. Once the jaws have closed, there is no escape. The struggling insect stimulates the trap to close further, immobilising it. Digestive acids are then produced by the leaf which kill, then dissolve the body and absorb the valuable nutrients. Once closed, traps take 5 to 12 days to reopen after the prey has been digested and will only work a couple of times before they become unusable so do not be tempted to close them yourself as this will weaken the plant. Supplied as an established plant in a 12cm pot, much bigger than plants offered for sale elsewhere and with more than one crown, ready to give you an instant pest clearing service.Care GuideA native of USA swamps, the Venus Fly Trap - Dionaea Muscipula - will grow perfectly happily on a windowsill or frost-free greenhouse, where plants need only to be kept in a tray of rain water or distilled water 1-2cm (
