One of the biggest concerns for buying plants online is their safe delivery. Even cacti, which are known for being hardier than your average houseplant can get pretty banged up in a distribution centre by a careless worker. But at Cactus Culture Australia we have perfected our cactus packaging and can boast a 100% (yes, really, 100%) safe delivery rate. Our perfect track record is thanks to the medium-density foam we surround our cacti with inside the box. What’s even better is that we source this foam from a factory and save it from going to landfill - pretty great, huh? We are so confident in the safe delivery of our plants that if your plant shows up damaged/broken, we will replace it for you free of charge (you will need to send us the damaged one back, and we’ll pay the shipping).
