You also need a USDA import permit to import. You can easily apply for this yourself. Important general information about the Import Policy can be found on the USDA website. There you will also find details and forms for importing plants in general and for importing protected plants that are on the CITES list.

Please send your import permit (and the associated green/yellow labels) at the same time as your order by email to info@kakteen-haage.de

When will the Kakteen-Haage catalog be published?

The very first Kakteen-Haage catalog was published in 1824.
Since 1999 the Catalog appears twice a year. Since 2020, an annual catalog has been published again towards the end of the year.

If it should be a little later - please be patient with us - of cause, you want to enjoy your read, and we’re trying to be as precise as possible and that might take a few days longer than originally planned.

*2 down to -20 °C
