The perfect plant for all Joshua Tree lovers! True Joshua Trees do not grow well, if at all, outside the Mojave Desert, so we have decided to offer the next best thing- Mini Joshua Trees that can be kept in your home!
This succulent plant looks just like the iconic Joshua Tree. It is easy to care for and thrives indoors. These plants are hardy, have minimal care needs, and can be trained into even more wild and amazing shapes using bonsai methods. These are not actual Joshua Trees, but a type of succulent.
Please note-
Sizing generally refers to the size and type of container your plant is in. We offer several sizes of ceramic containers and pots. Please understand that we care for these plants ourselves, give daily care and inspection, use succulent specific soil and additional liquid nutrients, and hand trim as needed. We send only the healthiest specimens in our collection. As plants are living, growing things, your plant may look slightly different from images posted. Plant will occasionally be shipped bare root, with the vessel included.
These are very limited in availability, we hand propagate, hand pot, hand trim and hand water each individual Mini Joshua Tree. We send out only the healthiest specimens. We do not offer refunds or exchanges once shipped, as we cannot control conditions during shipping, nor the care environment of the plant once it has arrived.
Mini Joshua Tree Care Guide
Light
Mini Joshua Trees grow best in locations where they will enjoy the full sun at least six or more hours per day. Most species will tolerate partial shade but will not thrive in deep shade.
As much as it loves light, make sure to protect it from very harsh direct sun rays that can potentially harm the leaves.
When indoors, keep your Mini Joshua Tree in a sunny window or under artificial lights.
Water
Mini Joshua Trees are quite drought-tolerant but does need some water. They do their best with weekly watering from spring through fall, but may require more in extremely hot weather or if planted in a container.
Like any other succulents, Mini Joshua trees do not tolerate waterlogging. Excess water must be able to drain freely or be poured out of the planter after watering because wetness quickly leads to root rot in these succulents.
Wait until the soil is completely dry between watering. Newly planted Mini Joshua Trees should be watered daily for the first couple of weeks.
Soil
The ideal soil for your Mini Joshua Tree is a substrate mixture of nutrient-poor soil and mineral components. A substrate for succulents should be well permeable to water so that no water can accumulate after watering. This can be achieved by mixing 60% succulent soil (also called cactus soil) and 40% mineral components, such as gravel or perlite, lava rocks and some quartz sand.
The open-pored mineral components, perlites and granules support the airflow and crumb structure of the substrate, they store the nutrients and moisture but allow excess water to flow quickly after watering.
Climate
Mini Joshua trees can tolerate freezing temperatures. Most are cold hardy in USDA hardiness zones 5a to 9b, -20 to 30 °F (-28.9 to -1.1 °C). Some species will tolerate temperatures down to USDA hardiness zone 4a, -30 °F (-34.4 °C). Sedum multiceps is also tolerant of heat and drought.
Keep your mini Joshua tree indoors at temperatures between 60 and 70 °F (15 and 20 °) through the winter. When temperatures drop below 50 °F (10 °C), plants start to go dormant.
Fertilizing
Mini Joshua trees prefer lean conditions. In fact, unless your soil is extremely poor, it may be best to avoid fertilizer at all. If you do need to add some nutrients to the soil, it is best to apply an organic fertilizer at half-strength during the growing season or a light layer of compost.
Chemical fertilizers tend to cause stretching and flopping on taller varieties. Mulch should not be applied up against the base of the plant because this can cause rot.
Pruning/Trimming
Mini Joshua trees are very low maintenance and pruning isn’t necessary unless you wish to train your mini tree into looking more like a traditional Joshua tree. You can clean them up a bit after winter by removing any dead or damaged branches or foliage; this will also help keep your succulent healthy.
For most Mini Joshua Trees, pinch new growth in spring to promote branching and shorter growth; this will help keep them from getting leggy and falling side ways. Look into bonsai style care for more info on this. Deadheading the succulent in fall isn’t necessary, as the flower heads provide fall and winter interest. If you don’t want seedlings from your Mini Joshua tree, the flower heads can be removed after blooming in summer.

Great Toy!
Color: Orange
This has been a great toy for our 11 week old German Shepherd. She absolutely loves it. I can get out all of her toys and lay them out with the exception of her "Lizzy" and she will immediately go to her toy bin and get it herself. Needless to say it is her favorite toy. She has had it a week now and she plays with it a lot, chewing and squeaking. It's a pretty amazing toy to have held up this long already and to date shows no sign of wear or damage. Lizzy just keeps going and going.

This item came with plush missingand thread unraveling on one leg
Color: Blue
I bought this toy because my dog spent a week playing with the same toy from Zanies that belonged to a visiting dog. My dog was very gentle with this toy, which he loved, so we decided to find one for him. The toy that arrived had no Zanies label and missing plush on the bottom where the label should have been, plus other bare spots in the area that showed the white mesh beneath. It also had a long thread at the joint of a rear leg so I knotted it at the joint and clipped it to prevent my dog from pulling at it but it's apparent that the sewing is loose and wont last long. The color was also much lighter than the toy he'd been playing with that belonged to the guest dog but I figured it might just be from a different dye lot (it was not bought at Amazon but their local pet store.) I am not convinced this is a real Zanies toy. There were two labels in French and it said it was made in China. I am returning this toy and will get a replacement and see how it looks. If it seems like it will fall apart or is not the real thing I will return it immediately. If it has a label and is in good shape and sewn well at the seams I'll revise this review.

Skye's Absolute Favorite Ball! 🐾
Size: 1 Pack, Style: Ball
Hello, I am Skye! I am an Australian Mountain Doodle puppy, and my humans finally found a ball that can keep up with me! The Benebone Natural Rubber Dog Ball is officially my prized possession.
Why I give it five paws:
The Perfect Chew: It is made of natural rubber, which means it has this amazing, springy texture that feels so good on my teeth. It's super tough, but it still has a satisfying squish when I chomp down on it.
Funky Bounces: Because of the rubber and the design, it doesn't just roll in a boring straight line. When it hits the floor, it bounces all over the place in crazy directions, which makes chasing it so exciting.
Easy to Carry: The texture makes it really easy for me to grab with my paws and hold onto in my mouth, even when it gets a little slobbery during a long game of fetch.

So far this is the perfect alternative to other wobble toy feeders. Please make a bigger size!
Size: 1 Pack, Style: Pawbler
Why did you pick this product vs others?:
I bought the Pawbler because the two most popular wobble treat feeders on the market are plastic, and one of my dogs just absolutely destroys those in no time because he bites them and throws them rather then nudging them and then he has plastic cutting him so I am forced to throw away a costly treat toy/dispenser. I thought maybe a rubber one would work out better. So far my dogs love it, it works well spitting out their kibble, seems to be holding up and is easy to clean and feels like a good weight, not a super flimsy toy.
I would love to see it made in a slightly larger size, I think this current size is good for medium dogs. It holds just under a cup of small round kibble but I would like to see one that can hold more and is slightly larger in size.
I have 4 german shorthaired pointers, my test subject for this toy is mostly my 70 pounder who bites the toys instead of nudging them and throws them across the room, so it is taking a beating. I think for him a larger size would be helpful in deterring that behavior but I also think this may be too small for larger breeds.
Durability:
So far this toy looks just like when I bought it. It has no punctures or scratches and unscrews without problem. We have only had it a week or so but we use puzzle/toy feeders to feed our dogs lunch every day so it is pretty easy to tell which toys won't last long. Obviously, I can't speak to long-term durability at the moment, but I can say that most toys similar to this end up already scratched or punctured in a few days, so this is already sturdier when compared to what I have tried before.

Well made and durable, not a toy the pups seek out
Size: 1 Pack, Style: Tug
Well made. Thought our staffies would love since they live tugging with each other. Sadly not something they seek out. We love ALL the benebone chews though!
