Crostoncactus.co.uk do online orders. I have bought a few plants off John and Norma, very good quality plants and friendly and quick service. Also I have bought a few off plantlifecactus, solentguy and chilternhillscacti via ebay. I know the price then becomes variable but they do add new stock all the time so just be patient and wait for a price you are happy with.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.

I have bought cacti and seeds off ebay with decent luck. World Seed Supply is a good seller. I got some seeds from them that were very fresh and germinated well, as well as two healthy seedlings.

Glenhirst is also a good one. I've had stuff a few times and they've always been excellent quality.

I've bought lots of cacti on ebay in the UK over the past three years and haven't yet had a bad experience. If you look at the individual feedback comments on a seller's rating, you get a feel for the reliable sellers.
Cactus enthusiast on and off since boyhood. I have a modest collection of cacti & succulents.

As have I, but it's a very expensive way of obtaining plants, I find. I guess you need more self-restraint than I have. :wink:

Anyway, here's a list of most of them: http://www.cactus-mall.com/nurseryuk.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

From that list, I would certainly recommend Tony Irons (who sells on eBay too), Croston-cactus, Rene Geissler, the Edginton's nursery, Southfield nursery and westfield. :) There are other great suppliers out there though, you just have to look.

Happy growing!

There is always one more glochid. Somewhere.

Hello Dave
I have bought from Glenhirst Nursery and Aristocacti and have been more than happy with both suppliers. The plants arrived very carefully packed minus pots and in very good condition, Im sure you will not be disappointed!
Happy buying

Anyone ever had any luck with World Wonders Gardens (http://www.worldwondersgardens.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)?
I ordered seeds from them back in January 2013, and they arrived promptly.
However, I contacted them again earlier this year 2x and haven't heard a peep; the website also doesn't seem to have been updated since 2013.

Was unfortunate, as they were one of the few places that had seeds for Cleistocactus luribayensis that I've had such a devil of a time with!
