Islaya Seeds – Rare Desert Cacti for True Collectors

Discover the Natural Charm of Islaya

Islaya is a remarkable genus of small, slow-growing cacti native to the dry coastal regions of Peru. Known for their unique forms and vivid flowering, species like Islaya islayensis and Islaya krainziana stand out for their compact size, beautiful ribs, and colorful spines. Often associated with the Eriosyce group, these plants combine drought resistance with rare ornamental value, making them highly sought-after by succulent lovers.

Starting from Islaya Seeds requires patience and the right environment. These cacti thrive in well-draining, mineral-rich soils and prefer full sun to partial shade.

While slow to mature, their compact beauty and resilient nature make them ideal for rock gardens, pots, and specialist collections.
