Description: Note" If you are looking for a unique gift, buy now as shiping for Christmas is just a little over 3 weeks until packages are stopped being mailed! Life Saver Cactus is one of the most unique cactus on the market today! When my husband 1st spotted the plant we were walking thru a large Arts & Crafts Show in Cedar Key, Fl. I was looking at something and he said "hey, look at that Life Saver Plant!" I said" yea, Right Bill" with out even looking where he was pointing. Figured it was just one of his Jokes! He said "no really, it IS a Life Saver Plant." So I stopped and turned around, and to my amazement the Cherry Red life saver looked so real, my next thought was that someone had "glued" a candy life saver on the cactus. Well, after several minutes of looking at it and talking to the nice folks at the booth, i became a proud owner of the small plant. Taking it home and placing it on my front porch next to our sitting area. Where i could keep an eye on it. Everyone who came to our house Ohhed and Awed over it. So much so that i shared a small piece of it with each of them. I nicknamed it my "friendship plant". Later I would hear how well it had grown for them and how they had shared it with their friends. (Now I'm getting Feed Back, that those friends have shared with their freinds) It is an Easy to grow plant that can take not being watered much to watering it every day. It doesn't seem to have a preference. I even put some in my Aquaponics garden, no soil on the roots, floating in 15" of water in a net pot! It is doing fine! It can take a sunny area to full shade. But in the sun it turns reddish instead of staying dark green. It has short spiky looking ribs down its sides, BUT they are soft and safe around Kids and Animals to touch. They will keep growing and spreading outward and downward depending on the size of pot you keep them in. They readily bloom during spring, summer and fall. It can have multiple Life Savers on it at one time. The bloom turns a Root Beer color as the bloom begins to die. It will freeze so give it a little protection during the colder months and you should have a wonderful eye catching plant for many years to come! "You will receive 2 pieces of the cactus that are ready to be potted" (1st pic shows what blooms look like) in a 4" pot of cactus soil. Gently press the pieces into the soil and lightly water them in. Place in a bright spot but Not direct sun until it has had time to adjust to its new surroundings. We ship USPS. I have successfully been shipping plants for several years so they should arrive safely unless the proverbial "Gorilla Baggage Handler" gets ahold of them in route. Reports back by Satisfied Customers has been very favorable.
