Say hello to Percy Pricklebum, your spiky new garden companion! This delightful Grow Your Own Cactus Kit from The Plant Gift Co. is a brilliant blend of fun, sustainability, and fuss-free gardening—all wrapped up in a recyclable 1-litre planter tin.

Perfect for windowsills, desktops, or kitchen counters, this cactus kit is as entertaining as it is educational. Whether you’re a plant-loving pro or someone just getting started on their green-thumb journey, Percy makes it simple to cultivate a quirky collection of cacti at home.

Inside, you’ll find a handpicked seed mix featuring spiny favourites like Bishops Cap, Barrel Cacti, Old Lady Cactus, Pin Cushion, and more. With biodegradable soil discs, handy plant markers, and biodegradable pots included, this kit is designed with both ease and the environment in mind. Everything is laid out in a charming instructional booklet—step-by-step, clear, and accessible—so even the most hesitant growers can get sprouting.

The growing process itself is a little adventure. Watch as tiny, alien-like seedlings slowly emerge, eventually becoming full-blown character-filled cacti. These resilient little plants don’t just thrive on minimal attention—they prefer it, making them ideal for busy plant parents or forgetful waterers.

The entire kit is Made in the UK, carefully batch-tested for high germination rates and quality growth. Plus, all packaging is either biodegradable or recyclable—just as it should be.

Whether you’re gifting it for a birthday, a new home, or just because someone loves quirky indoor plants, Percy Pricklebum is a gift that grows in every sense of the word.
