Our story

Madam Cacti was born from a deep love and fascination for Astrophytum—a remarkable genus of cacti native to South Texas and Northern Mexico. In the early 1990s, Astrophytum Asterias was listed as an endangered species, and the threat remains. Our mission is to raise awareness and discourage the harmful practice of collecting these plants from their natural habitat. Once a species disappears from the wild, it’s gone forever.

At Madam Cacti, we believe in a better way. With your support, we can cultivate Astrophytum sustainably—right from your home—and help preserve these extraordinary plants for future generations. Madam Cacti is a sanctuary for those who feel the same pull—growers who want to learn, nurture, and collect with heart.

We’re committed to providing beautifully grown plants and giving you access to rare and breathtaking cultivars from around the world. Together, we can nurture a future where Astrophytum thrives—both in our homes and in the wild.

Madam Cacti began with a simple fascination: tiny seeds that grow into quiet miracles. We specialize in spineless, miniature, and colorful Astrophytum because they remind us that beauty doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful. Each plant is grown with patience and care, becoming a living artwork that brings peace, wonder, and a touch of magic into your space. Madam Cacti isn’t just a shop—it’s a story of growth, resilience, and the joy of nurturing something extraordinary.
