Don't blink or you'll miss it; the Peruvian Apple Cactus' cream-colored flowers with red tips open for one night only, which is why you may know it by another of its common names: Queen of the Night. Watch for the blooms in late spring and early fall. This cactus creates a strong focal point in your landscape with its columnar growth habit, impressive height potential, eye-catching blooms, and colorful fruit. The fruit, known as Peruvian Apple or Pitaya, is generally red but sometimes yellow and grows to about 2 inches in diameter. Keep this cactus happy with lots of sun and light watering in soil that allows it to dry out between waterings.

Four potted plants in increasing sizes are labeled: Promo (2-4 tall), Classic (3-8 tall), Premium (8-15 tall), and Supreme (8-25 tall), showing plant and pot dimensions for each size.

Introducing Premium & Supreme plants

We're expanding our product lineup with plants that need more space than our classic 2/3-cup pot allows.

Premium Plants come in a 3/4-quart pot and Supreme Plants come in a 3/4-gallon pot.

New Premium & Supreme Plants will release each Friday.

Shop with confidence

Your plants are packed with the utmost care, but shipping can be stressful on the little guys.

That's why you have 30 days from the arrival date to experiment with them. If they don't bounce back, you're eligible for a refund.

We sell baby plants

Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.

How tall are baby plants?

We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.

What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?

The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.

Mulberry Fuel: Set it and forget it for 90 days

While we call it Mulberry Fuel after our favorite fruiting tree, this fertilizer can really be used on any fruiting plant to ensure its plans come to fruition.

Apply the granules of this 20-6-9, slow-release formula to the soil surface of your plants and they will slowly feed them over a 90-day period.
A vibrant Wellspring Gardens Mulberry Fuel Plant Fertilizer bag (20-6-9 blend, 1 or 2 LB) features a squirrel with berries, highlights a 90-day slow-release formula for healthy plants, and is surrounded by spilled purple pellets and mulberries.
