What are pre-orders?
What are pre-orders?
Plants that are available for pre-order are either:
1. Really popular so we make sure to always offer them for sale because we can get them in easily
2. Are only available seasonally so we try to help as many customers as possible get the plant they are looking for when it is available
3. Are available to us at a discounted price point that we want to pass on to consumers.
If you change your mind you can always receive a store credit. If your plant is delayed you can always receive a cash refund.
Despite its name, the African Milk Tree Cactus is not actually a cactus. Instead, this big thorny plant is a succulent. The African Milk Tree grows thick three-sided stalks with the typical “cactus”-style arms, and features small, short-lived leaves.

About care instructions
Plant care can vary depending on placement, light and exact environment. You can always request plant care help here.
Water: 2-4 weeks
Let the plant dry out completely between watering - water when the pot is completely dry. Make sure to plant in fast-draining soil with a drainage hole for best results. Depending on the season and light, you will need to water the plant every 2-4 weeks.
Sun: direct light
This plant wants as much sun as you can give it—place in south, west, or unobstructed east-facing window. Direct light means 8+ hours of direct sun. Anything less, and you might want to consider a grow light. In the summer, you can put it outside in direct sunlight
Humidity: low
This plant doesn't care about how humid it is. It will work perfectly fine near that vent you want to cover up.
