The Cactus King is a family run cactus and succulent farm/commercial nursery located in Houston, TX. The owner, Lyn Rathburn, has expertise that few others share as a result of over 30 years experience in this specialized area of horticulture. With Mr. Rathburn at the reigns, he and his dedicated team provide the most extensive selection of cacti and succulents for sale worldwide! The Cactus King sells both retail and wholesale in person and online. Participating in environmentally sustainable growing practices is at the crux of our philosophy. Aside from the beauty and magic that cacti and succulents bring (and it's substantial), they save an incredible amount of water. To be specific, The Cactus King uses approximately 250 thousand gallons of water annually. A nursery of the same size that sells other popular landscaping plants, utilizes anywhere from 5 million to 12 million gallons of water each MONTH! The Cactus King sees no need to compromise the needs of our plant for the needs of its business.
