Mammillaria gracilis fragilis, commonly known as 'Thimble Cactus', is a highly sought-after, petite cactus that forms a charming clump. It is easy to propagate but slow growing and as the name "fragilis" suggests the plant is incredibly delicate and heads can be easily dislodged even with the slightest touch.

We wrap these very carefully to try and keep them intact but it's highly likely when you receive this plant you will have some segments come away. If so just nest them down in the pot and they will soon form new roots forming a more extensive clump.

What makes the Thimble Cactus such a great addition to your collection is its remarkable resilience to a wide range of conditions. Water, no water, sun, shade, this plant is not too fussed. so it's a great one to have in your collection as you can set and forget :)

This petite cactus is native to Central Mexico and is well-suited for growing outdoors in warm climates. It forms a charming clump of short, spiny stems, each one producing a cluster of thimble-sized offshoots. At maturity, the plant develops an attractive, rounded shape, growing up to 12 cm in height, with each head reaching around 3 cm in diameter.

In late winter and spring, Thimble Cactus produces small creamy white flowers, adding to its charm. Despite its delicate appearance, this cactus is surprisingly resilient and can tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. This slow-growing cactus will thrive in full sunlight or light shade, but if you're moving it to a sunnier position, do so gradually to avoid scorching.

If you are growing Thimble Cactus in a container, use a potting mix for cacti and succulents or a combination of regular potting mix and coarse sand.  Fertilize it once a year, in mid-spring, using a water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength.

In conclusion, Thimble Cactus is a great choice for xeriscaping or rock gardens, and it also makes an excellent houseplant. It is generally very easy to grow and can survive in a range of conditions. If you're looking for a charming, resilient cactus to add to your collection, Thimble Cactus is definitely a good one to get.

Rancid, Nasty, biltong shavings
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This Ayoba Biltong has an OK flavour, but the black pepper is excessive. About 20% of the shavings are rancid, which means that every 5 shaving pinch you put in your mouth is practically guaranteed to have a rancid flake. The rancid flakes are bitter. acrid and foul, and this nastiness completely overpowers the biltong flavour, even the excess black pepper taste. I believe the rancidness comes from the white bits of fat attached to the meat, but who wants to sort and clean these biltong bits? DO NOT BUY!!!! FYI - I grew up in Swaziland and Botswana, and ate pounds and pounds of biltong. I even made Biltong while deep in the Okavango Delta.

Excellent flavor and texture to this jerky with no sugar makes it my new favorite
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have recently adopted a low carb, high protein diet combined with weight training, so I'm always looking for new sources of protein. I use protein powder as little as possible, and eat more from natural sources. I have a brand of beef jerky I really like, but traditional beef jerkies have a lot of sugar (10g protein to 6g of sugar). Biltong, however, has more protein per oz (16g) and 0g of carbs or sugar. Simple ingredients, and nothing funky. So a big win on the nutrition front. That is great, but what won me over was the flavor. It has a nice hearty flavor, and has a little wetness to it that makes the texture nice to chew. I have tried another brand of biltong, but I found it too dry for my taste (kinda of like chewing on plastic). So another win on flavor and texture. Pricing is okay. Good beef jerky is not cheap, so you get what you pay for. I would like to buy in bulk, so bigger packages with better discounts would be a good offer I would jump on immediately.

Good Product
Size: 3 Panel-102'', Color: Beige
I got these dividers for outdoor use for some privacy from neighbors. They arrived quickly and were easy to set up. They look good, and though the legs don’t offer stability against any amount of wind—which I expected as it wasn’t advertised for outdoor use—all it took was placing a cinder block on the feet to hold it up right. Coverage is good, it’s easy to fold and move as needed, and it’s light weight. All in all a decent product. I will caution the purchase of “used like-new,” as both of the dividers I ordered were previously returned items, and one came missing a cap, instructions were not included, and the poles were all mixed up and not properly labeled. If I had not ordered a second divider (which did include the instructions) I would have had a much harder time figuring out which pieces were which and how to put them together.
