Honestly the best stop for succulent/cacti plant lovers on a roadtrip to Tahoe/Mammoth. Some of my favorite caudiciform plants are from here. Monkey chair, Lindheimer's Globeberry... Their golf ball plant on display is always jaw dropping to look at. Their custom store cups in the gift store are adorable with cork bottoms. The display garden is always very cool to walk around in. Staff/employees really know their stuff/very nice to talk to/not pushy.
Great place tons of selection!!! The people are amazing from the owners to the customers!! You can find all your succulent & cacti needs!
Amazing selection of plants! Very good prices and the employees are super friendly and helpful too.
What and amazing place. If you've never stopped-be sure to stop or make a special trip. We had a team-building succulent terrarium class-where we made adorable terrariums, learned about the succulents, how to feed and water and keep them growing-they will even bloom! Lite refreshments were served. And we had an adorable terrarium to take home with us. It was so relaxing and fun. The atmosphere, grounds and coi pond were lovely, it may look small, but we could have spent hours walking the green house, shade area and grounds. The cactus were just starting to bloom and they were beautiful. It was a mini botanical garden. We got to speak with the owners who began their collection and love of succulents and cactus with some cuttings and a look at someone's collection over 50 years ago. They were so knowledgeable about growing conditions and the names of all the cactus. She told us so much about the cactus and succulents-really a special experience. Perfect place to bring the family-watch out for the spines. A gem of a place! Highly recommended! They even have their own special blend of soil and fertilizer-will help any succulent or cactus flower.
We made a special trip to buy 2 cactuses for two special friends. There are many varieties to choose from but cactus will produce some of the most awesome flowers on earth, if they are happy. We had over 50 flowers on one plant that bloomed up until the end of fall. The small little round clusters in the bowl are over 45 years old. After shopping here for years, I highly recommend Poot's when considering your landscaping project. We have bought more than a few plants here to put in our front yard. Check it out!
Stopped here on a road trip, after hearing about how awesome their house blend cactus soil is, along with what a nice, small nursery they have. Granted, this was mid January, so I wasn't sure there would be much to chose from. I was wrong, granted there were some empty places in their tables. Nursery itself is on property that has an actual older and beautiful home on. The front yard is adorned with mature, old cacti, agaves, and succulents. The plants are so mature, healthy they are mesmerizing! Since I've never seen plants this large and established, my head was spinning from their beauty. They have a semi enclosed greenhouse area where the have a gorgeous cacti exhibit that was worth the trip in itself. I saw plants that literally blew my mind that I've never seen Before. They have a great selection of plants to purchase, some are very rare and hard to find, and some I've never seen before. I bought some beauties to take home and 4 big bags of soil. I wish I could have bought more plants! I also would like to add that the staff here is stellar!! What a fun place to visit!
Have been wanting to come here for years and regret not coming sooner! A wide selection of Cacti I've never seen before, from nano to almost 10 feet tall! The man at the check out was helpful in giving watering and repotting tips :)
Poot's Cactus Nursery is a wonderful place to go to for a day trip.....even if you don't own any cactus! I call Poot's "The Cactus Museum and Nursery". It's the experience of all the amazing cacti that draws you into the nursery. I was amazed and inspired at all the beautiful flowers these amazing cactus produce. Poot's is a must see!
Poots cactus nursery is such a beautiful store that has the most unique plants. They have a huge variety of succulents and cacti. It's also such a great place to do some exploring. Beware that their parking lot is a bit small. They have an indoor and outdoor area filled with plants to purchase and view. It's like a plant museum in the indoor area. They also have an outdoor water fountain area to the left of the store where they have the most beautiful cactus arranged around the fountain and pathway. I will be sure to come back to this nursery for all of my succulent plant needs
On my day off, Joe K and I decided to take a little road trip towards Modesto, CA. Joe had discovered on a Yelp search, some interesting businesses along the way that really sparked our interest. Poot's Cactus Nursery was one of the places that were high on our list. We love caring for cactus and succulents, and have our own small garden in the back yard. After a nice relaxing drive, we eventually came upon this nursery. The first thing we did when we entered the front yard was, walk the path through a beautiful and awe inspiring cactus garden containing some of the most gorgeous and unique giants I had ever seen! Each plant was amazing and healthy in it's own right. I felt like we were wandering through a fantasy land or another planet. It appeared that we were actually at a residence that expanded into it's own cactus business. Looked like a great idea to be at home and work at the same time! After exploring the front yard, we went into the sales section where there is a covered driveway area containing rows upon rows of tables with smaller versions of plants and cuttings. There were so many varieties of cactus's and succulents to choose from. The prices were very reasonable on most of them. Further into the back yard, they have a huge hot house with more plants that was not open to the public. But we were able to enter another hot house near the front of the property, that had even more selections! Some specimens were only on display, but most were for sale. There was so much to see and make decisions on, that we easily spent not only money, but a couple of hours here! We had a nice time exploring every inch of this place. I hope to return again for another road trip!
This place is like no other I've been to. It's really pretty (and this is from a girl who really doesn't care too much for cactus or succulents). The owners did a really an incredible job with the display of tall cacti from walking up to the entrance to the room where you can purchase a bunch of different cacti/succulents. The pictures does no justice. I was in awe. I was looking for stapelias and although they didn't have any, one of the guy was able to find me a huernia which was similar. They sell their own cactus soil for $10, and a small bag of cacti fertilizer for $5. Although the prices of those are a little more expensive than what I can find in a chain store, if it can make my new found plants as big as theirs, I'd fork up the extra money. I highly recommend visiting this place.
Although the "bad" reviews are far and few in between, reading them compelled me to write this one: Poot's is a gem and sanctuary up here. There is no other nursery in the area that even comes close in terms of the love, dedication, thoughtfulness, selection, and affordability that Poot's integrates into every aspect of their operation (other than maybe The Dry Garden or Ruth Bancroft). It's unfortunate that certain people approach businesses with such a sense of entitlement that they become completely ignorant of the fact that the individuals that stand before them are in fact human beings as well. I will never subscribe to the expectation of service workers to be completely subservient to the customer. Everyone has their ups and downs. Good days and bad days. Different personalities. If nothing is blatantly ignorant or rude, you're here for the beautiful garden and unheard of selection of plants. I don't believe a single review on here that claims that their selection "isn't that great" or "their priced too high". I can guarantee you would be paying a whoooole lot more for a slightly bigger plant. It's not only a rare opportunity to buy a lot of these plants, but it's also a rare opportunity to be able to see so many hard grown, perfectly aged specimen sized cacti and succulents. Not only in their front yard, but all around you while you browse their indoor area. Not even the botanical gardens have some of these!!!! In short, GET ON THE POOTS TRAIN OR GET THE ***HECK*** OUT OF THE WAY. YOU'RE ENTERING GOD'S TERRITORY NOW!!!!! MHMM THATS RIGHT
I love this place! They have lots of unique and rare plants. Mostly cactus and succulents. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the whole place is so mesmerizing.

My favorite place to shop for cactus and succulents! They have a ton of different varieties and the staff is super helpful if you have questions. They also make their own soil blend that's $10 a bag and it's the best! read more

I love Poots' Cactus Nursery! Best selection of cacti and succulents I've ever seen. Lots of uncommon plants, and everything is very well cared for. The prices are so low, I felt like I was stealing when I left with 12 plants of substantial size and I only paid around $100. Bill is also very knowledgeable and fun to talk to. I will continue to make seasonal trips to Ripon just to visit Poots and see what's new! read more

We always make an effort to stop by when we're driving thru Northern California. It's well worth the detour. My husband and I own hundreds of cacti and succulents and can say confidently this place has above and beyond quality at amazing prices. All of their stock is well rooted and the soil is incredible. Must stop by if you're a collector! read more

Wow! Love love love their garden! Good selections of cactus and succulents. However I wish the other part of the nursery is open to the public! I can see there's more varieties that were still inside. I'm looking forward to visit again! I meet Bill he's so nice and he helped us with our purchase ! I can't wait to replant my cactuses read more

My husband is very into the cactus and all desert plants. If he can marry to it, I think he would. We often go to Yosemite and we drive pass this area all the time but never realized about this place. Until last month we were on the way to Yosemite again, and I was 31 weeks pregnant. I couldn't sit in the car for so long. So we had to make some stops. And my husband found out this place on yelp. As soon as we stopped, we both loved this place. And we got a chance to talk to the nice lady (which we knew later that she one of the owners) we got to see so much all the selections there. My husband said he will be back for sure just to pick up some of his favorite plants. This place is our favorite roadside stop on the way to Yosemite now. Even though we are live in San Francisco, but it will well worth to drive to this place! (if you are a fan of all desert plants!) read more

Great place to get your succulents! One of the owners at the register was very helpful and polite. Recommend a visit! Plenty to choose from!!! Well taken care of read more
I love this place. Don't give into the negative yelpers because this place is reasonably price, very big in size, and a great selection of succulents and cacti anywhere you can get. I always believed in trusting the professionals and the people here are professional growers of succulents and cacti. I walked out with seven Succulents and cactus for less then 40 bucks. See picture below. I will be back to pick up more cactus and succulents in the future. read more

So here I was pondering if I should take an 1hr drive to poots. I asked myself and finally decided to grab my keys and head to the unknown land of cactus. Anyways, once I arrived I was greeted not only by staff but by huge beautiful cactus of many different species( Hopefully i used this term correctly). Once there I just tried to take everything in. The selection of succulents and cacti is incredible. Their staff and owners are not only very knowledgeable but friendly too. I have been here many times after that mini roadtrip to the unknown and recommend to atleast go and check it out weather you buy a plant or just to go window shop. You will not be disappointed. Their prices seem very fair for their cacti selection and worth every penny. Some of their succulents are a bit pricier and could be found elsewhere at a slight cheaper price. Before I wrap this up I just gotta say this place is one of a kind and is worth the drive. P.s don't forget to buy their soil it honestly is the BEST I've ever used. read more

Where to begin?? Well just recently got back in to cactus collecting. I had been buying my cactus's at the big box store Home depot etc. which was a huge mistake since they dont know how to take care of their cactus that they are selling. so my friend told me about POOT'S. First time I went I was in awe they're selectin in huge. The cactus range in size from big to small, skinny to wide , smooth to pointy. They take very good care of the cactus. Ihave gone their every week for the last month to add more to my collection. I usually end up buying three to four cactus per trip to add to my collection. If you are into cactus this is the only place to go. Dont waste your time going anywhere else. It is the only nursery of it kind in the area. read more

My mom told me about this place and I finally got around to going there. It is off the beaten path on hwy 120 but its well worth the drive! I have only recently gotten into cactus, so I was excited that they had such a huge selection. I expected it to be a small place. The owners have been in business 25 yrs and seem very knowledgable. The grounds are beautiful with a huge Koi pond in the front, backdropped by a cactus landscape. I think the prices are very reasonable especially when you consider the selection. They have many rare or hard to find cacti and lots of succulents too. Be sure to visit inside the greenhouse, which has lots of gems to be found as well as a landscaped garden of really cool cacti. Take the time to look around, you may end up leaving with more than you thought you came for! I did! read more
