About Us!

Hello! Welcome to The Kind Cacti, the desert’s “friendliest cactus” also known as the Totem Pole Cactus.  We call it the desert’s friendliest cactus because of the lack of thorns or toxins, which makes the totem pole cactus a unique desert plant.
My sister Adrie and I, (Allyiva) started The Kind Cacti with the help of our family.  Our uncle gifted us some totem pole cacti from his yard in Phoenix.  We planted some in pots and sold them at our garage sale. From that, a business idea was born!
One of our first selling experiences was at the Lake Havasu Youth Market, which was a great learning opportunity.  We had to know our product, be able to answer questions, and also sell on our own without an adult present. We received an award for “Most Original Business Idea” and a check for $50.
We have done a lot of research and have learned to propagate and care for the cacti.  It has been an exciting learning experience for both of us.
Our goal is to continue selling cacti and someday open up and manage an indoor roller rink.  The process of selling and taking care of the cacti has given us basic skills that will help us with our future business goals.
