[@kristileyva7423]

I feel your excitement!! I just bought my first spiral cactus yesterday!! It was at the top of my plant wish list. So exciting!! Hope she’s still doing well!! ☀️

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

[@jongalt9038]

Beautiful!!! (Beni-beni- benissimo!) Don't do this again! I was nervous till you popped it open to safety!!! Congrats! 🌿🌹🌿

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Jon Galt Thank you 🌵it is Beautiful 💚. You’re right I may not be so lucky next time. Happy that my gamble paid off though 😉💚!! These cactus cost double the price normally for the size that I got it for and needs a phytosanitary certificate as well.

Beautiful, will it flower 🌸?

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Yes these cactus will eventually flower 🌸

[@linneaburgess7087]

Shake the box one more time haha

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

lol 😂 yes had to make sure there was something in there 🌵😉

[@siulau7498]

Wow, you purchased a very big one, must of costed quite a bit. Mine was only $20 and it was under 5 inches tall, now closer to 6 inches after a month. Can you please do an update of the cactus? It looks like it is blooming size, and may even be possible to get pups to form with some keiki paste since it should have plenty of energy at that size.

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Hello there 🌵 Actually in the video I mentioned how much I paid for it. I lucked out on this buy as it was $34 which included shipping. It would have been more if paid for the phytosanitary certificate whichI decided not to buy with the plant 😉

[@siulau7498]

@@aGirlwithaGarden That is awesome. Hopefully you can get it to flower. You could probably post it on the World Cactus and Succulent society page too on FB. I'm fairly new to cacti so I'm taking in as much as I can about it.

[@chiara1876]

What an amazing plant! 😍 Can I ask you the name of the seller? I'm from Italy and I would really like to support local sellers in this difficult period if they're still shipping plants. Thank you very much! 🙂

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Yes of course. I purchased from a seller on eBay whom is located in Italy. I did check the current listings and at the time I bought it there was many but I'm sure you can always reach out to the seller to see when they'll carry more. The ebay seller is giromagiazagrgiromagi

[@chiara1876]

@@aGirlwithaGarden Thanks a lot! 😊

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Chiara you’re welcome! Hope you get a Spiralis 🌵 soon 😉

[@elizabethsloan8373]

What shop did you get it from and where are you located? live in USA and feel nervous about ordering from Italy from Ebay.

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

I bought from a seller on eBay and they were in Italy while I am here in the Florida. If you have IG connect with me there and send me a DM 😁🌿.

I need where did you order from??

[@aGirlwithaGarden]

Hello there. I purchased from a seller on Ebay last year December. The seller is shipping from Italy so currently with all that's happening with Covid-19 I would be cautions from buying overseas. However I really recommend the seller!! Great buying experience overall and Luv Luv the cactus. If you'd like to know the seller from eBay let me know and I'll share that info if you are still interested and not worried about buying from a place of Covid-19 concern.

@@aGirlwithaGarden omg, please can i ask for the seller detail, been wanting this cactus and cant find it here in Australia. Thanks Lai

Why do plant ppl never talk about price? All other stuff ppl buy and show the price is in video title
