I have always loved going to Cactus & Tropicals when I am in town. Beautiful store with friendly staff and great selection. Recently, I drove to this location from Logan to buy a specific houseplant, which I was excited about since this seemed like a quality nursery. I am very particular about buying from high quality places to avoid pests. They had the plant in stock and I was excited to take it home. Unfortunately, after a few weeks this plant developed a mealy bug infestation. I have never had pests on any of my other plants, which I bought from other nurseries, so the only place the mealybugs could have come from was Cactus & Tropicals. Luckily, I had placed this houseplant away from the rest of my collection, but if it was closer to my other plants I would have lost a lot of them. I was truly disappointed in this experience and wanted to post this to make sure other people quarantine their plants after buying from here. Edited to one star because a prop I took from this plant actually did spread the bugs to most of my collection. Extremely disappointed by this.

We got a mealybug infestation from a plant we got here. Super unhappy about it. Has killed most of our plants at this point despite treatment.
