شوك الصحراء

Three weeks of neglect and it’s still plump, not a single wrinkled rib. The way it holds onto water through the heat is honestly kind of inspiring. Exactly the low-maintenance companion I needed on my windowsill.

Arrived in great shape, and the medium size is just right for my shelf. It's a sturdy little cactus that doesn't need much fuss, which fits my schedule perfectly. Only wish the pot had a bit more drainage.

It’s smaller than I pictured, but that’s actually a plus for a shelf that’s already crowded. The way it holds onto water during dry weeks is pretty remarkable—I’ve forgotten it for a fortnight and it still looks fine. Just wish the pot had a drainage hole, but that’s an easy fix.
