    This is where it's located.

    I am so happy I came here instead of my local Home Depot store! I was in the mood to redecorate my backyard and wanted to add a succulent to an outdoor table. Please note: Be patient with Francis! Her English is limited. Be resourceful. Pull up Google Translate on your phone to help yourself. I'm Spanish-speaking so it was easy for me, but I can imagine some of y'all Yelp folks getting irritated. Anyway, one thing I did notice was that this place is outdoors! Like a nursery you'd go to. The aisles are narrow, so just be mindful of your body and don't knock down any plants. Lol. Francis greeted me with a warm smile and demeanor. She was so sweet!! I almost wanted to give her a hug lol. I explained to her that I had a budget and wanted succulents. She quickly got to work on it. She asked me to pick from several plants but didn't overwhelm me. I think she ended up having fun working on it! I saw her burst into this creative mode, and it was beautiful to witness! An artist at work, and in her zone! Would I recommend? HECK YEAH!!! Support local businesses and hustlers like Francis.

    Francis's Cactus Succulents is my go-to shop for succulents in the LA area! While the outdoor shop is rather small, Francis has a great variety of succulents and the prices are unbeatable! Parking can be a little challenging, as the shop does not have any spaces of their own. Parking is available on the side streets to the left and right of the shop. The shop is very small making it easy to miss if you're driving by, but it's easy to spot once you park and walk down the sidewalk. I've purchased a large saguaro cactus here for only $80. The shop is cash only. There is an ATM at the convenience store (a 2 minute walk) located on the left when facing the shop. If you don't find what you're looking for on your first trip, be sure to check back - she is always getting new plants in.

    Nice ladies, only cash- no credit card or venmo!  It's a small cactus area but prices are reasonable

    Nice old ladies, small selection of succulents. They only accept cash by the way! The majority of cactus are small, only a few larger ones.

    Lots of tiny succulents in cute painted pots

    Tiny little outdoor spot between a couple of businesses....had to turn around before I finally spotted it. Lady was very sweet, but mostly Spanish speaking. Cute little creations she makes herself...I believe cash only.as.I didn't see any credit machines. Just a sweet lady sharing and making a living off her love of plants.

    So happy I stumbled upon this cute little nursery. The worker is so sweet and so knowledgeable about all the different types of cacti. I love that so many are potted already. The prices were also excellent. I will definitely be back and recommend this place to friends!

    I succulent obsessed, in a good way! Gardening and live gifts are my hobby. This place matches prices in San Diego which is usually unheard of for rare and special succulents. Check out my Photos! Their all alive and well and the smaller ones or pieces made for great Halloween and thanksgiving gifts for my neighbors and Mom!

    (Top Row): Mexican Snowball and Golden Sedum (Bottom Row): Jelly Bean plant and what I think is Ogre Ear.

    So happy to discover Francis's!!! I picked up these little beauties today and couldn't be happier!!! Wonderful selection. She is cash only, and these came out to be $13.

    Cutest little succulent shop! Variety of plants I've never even seen in unique and some handmade vases! The arrangements were abundant all grown and made by Francis. These make the perfect gifts! {cash only}

    What's not to love about this? Meet Clementina, I mean look at this for only $20!
    Marisol T.

    I found the owner to be very nice and welcoming, which is a must for me. She seemed very knowledgeable of the cacti too. Just walking into this place, I immediately fell in love with it. I ended purchasing a Cacti arrangement which was only $20!

    Paper spine cactus because it's scientific name is too easy to say

    I love this place so much I don't even tell my friends about it because I don't want them beating me to the rare plants and deals. Francis, the owner, is amazing and knows an incredible amount about the rarer cactuses, euphorbias and succulents Hands down the best place to buy such plants and I don't want to argue about it. Nowhere else comes close

    Great prices! Beautiful selection of cacti's and succulents. Definitely will be going back :)

    Thank you for making our wedding bouquets and boutonnières! They turned out so beautiful and amazing. She truly put so much details and time into my flowers and everyone at the wedding loved them. I ended up replanting my bouquet and it looks beautiful!! Francis is so sweet and I love her cute garden. She has a wonderful and unique selection of succulents and cactus. Great for gifts or a special event!

    My succulent haul! All for a total of $20.00!

A whole lot more. They also sell food, seeds, roots, soil, small, medium, large pots, different styles and colors of everything. Very durable and a tad expensive for my budget. Pots for your plants are so gorgeous. They do landscaping for people who own gardens (does not apply to me) and all the work the employees put in to those plants to make their customers happy and satisfied is a huge recognition. Employees are very knowledgeable, nice, and helpful. Also caring and understanding. A friend of mine had given me an indoor plant for my birthday last year and lasted me for a whole entire year and 3 months. It took the last breath and I went to them asking for help. It was a bit late. I am more of a flower girl than owning plants. I have had plants in my younger years. I ended up buying 2 new outdoor plants to put outside of my window/door. It looks very pretty. I have also purchased a Christmas tree from their lot twice. Established in 1889. That should say a lot about this lovely, beautiful garden/nursery. Big parking lot right in front of the nursery/shop, and 2 clean bathrooms. Thank you all.
