One of my local florists are selling small cacti for 99p again! I've found that they only sell these a few months in the summer. They had all shapes and sizes but I thought I'd go for an Aloe Vera. The left picture is him all cramped in the pot he was sold in and the right picture is him in his new home! The ceramic pot is from Wilkinsons for around 30p. I'm going to go back to the florists in the next few days to pick up another couple of cacti's. I now have six, the other five being 2 years old :)

ReplyDeleteOh please do! I don't get many comments on posts like these but I still post them because it's an interest of mine :)
ReplyDeleteI have one (which is my favourite) that looks like it's got hair, it's like a yellow hairy ball haha x
I had a cactus when i was about 5 and killed him :/
ReplyDeleteI really want to go get one now though!
(he looks ten times better in his new home :])
I know it may sound odd, but if this is aloe vera will you be able to get anything out of it like a aloe vera product? xx
ReplyDeleteYeah you can :) I used to have one and cut bits off to sooth my skin, I'm going to research now what else I can use it for actually! x
ReplyDeleteI LOVE cacti's!! So easy to look after. Aloe Vera is a fave of mine.. my mum used to have two, one for show, and one in the bathroom for cuts/burns/spots etc... just snap off a bit and rub the natural gel in :)
