Desert Gem Cactus Plants Will Bring A Kaleidoscope Of Color To Your Garden

If you love being surrounded by plants but want a dash of vibrant color to break up all the green, you’re in luck. The desert gem cactus comes in an insane variety of rainbow colors that guarantee that your garden will be like a living rainbow and they’re definitely worth seeking out.

  1. Most people assume that cacti only come in one color. While most of the cacti we see do tend to be green, the desert gem cactus is proof that they have a lot more to offer too. Everyone knows that succulents can come in a variety of colors but cacti need some love too!
  2. Desert gem cactus plants are available in six incredible shades. Sold by Costa Farms, you can get your own desert gem in topaz pink, emerald green, amethyst purple, fire-opal orange, and sapphire blue. Not only that, but their spikes are short and not too hard, so if you accidentally touch them, you won’t injure yourself.
  3. Yes, the desert gem cactus isn’t 100% natural but it is real. No one has injected dye into the plant or anything to make them have such vibrant colors. While there is a process involved, there’s no genetic engineering so for all intents and purposes, they’re totally real. They’re part of the Mammillaria cactus family and they’re originally native to Mexico.
  4. They make perfect indoor plants. The great thing about the desert gem cactus is that it’s incredibly low maintenance and works really well indoors. It’s a cactus so you don’t need to water it much, and while it needs a bit of sunshine, it can easily get that if placed near a window. Plus, since they’re so little, even if you don’t have a lot of free space, you can definitely fit a few of these babies in for a splash of color.
  5. So where can you get them? Costa Farms will give you all the information you need HERE. Happy plant parenting!
