 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Beautiful cactus. It's now happy in its new pot on my desk at work to keep it out of the sun for a few days. Amazing care in packaging it, it came without any damage and was sent swiftly. Looking forward to watching my new buddy thrive. Updated to add a progress photo a few months later. As you can see its thriving and super healthy and happy and has opened up following its period in transit

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Beautifully and very carefully packaged. A delight to open and admire the beautiful succulents which were a good size, totally undamaged and excellent value for money. Highly recommended and will use Ottershaw Cacti again in the future. Good delivery albeit 7pm when they arrived but at least arrived the following day after dispatch.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Just received delivery of a number of different aeoniums. They were wrapped with care, and all appear to be as healthy as can be expected after being in a box for a couple of days. Really like the instructions on potting them on which I have followed. Thank you Ottershaw Cacti. (Pictures below show what I received before potting on)
