We have had a change of events with the US department of Agriculture. At this time ALL cactus plants are on the CITES 2 listing. BUT at this time, we are in holding to ship any cactus seeds out of the US until they decide what kind of paperwork we need. It is all much more complicated than this but in simplest terms, after 6 years of working with them, they just realized that they were not doing all of the paperwork correctly.

They have given us a task to complete to resume shipping cactus seeds on a Phytosanitary but this take will take us years to complete. Also they have requested that we use CITES 1 paperwork in addition to many Phytosanitary’s which will dramatically increase the cost for everyone all around. In short it has become difficult and there are no easy answers.

So what can we do currently? We can ship most Succulent/Mesemb seeds on a Phytosanitary. I will post a list below of what we cannot include on a Phytosanitary. All other seeds not listed here to the best of our current knowledge, we can include. If you order and something comes up that we cannot include, we will remove it and send you a refund for those items.

What we CANNOT include on a phytosanitary:

• ALL Cactus
• Agave
• Aloe
• Pelargonium
• Fouquieria
• Euphorbia
• Dioscorea
• Tylecodon
• Othonna
• Pachypodium
• Conophytum
• Yucca
• Nolina
• Avonia
• Anacampseros

Please email us if you have any questions and we will try to answer them to the best of our ability.
