Pocket Cactus

A cozy cactus-breeding game in the frontier town of Dry Gulch. Cross two cacti, see the real odds, plant the seeds and wait for the bloom.

Common questions

Does my cactus grow while the app is closed?
Yes. Growth follows real time and your own clock. Open the app and everything has caught up, up to a week away.
Can anything die?
No. A thirsty cactus just waits for water. Nothing is ever lost.
Are the odds on the Breed screen real?
Yes. The bench shows the same table the game rolls on. Rare forms are Variegated (2%) and Cristate (1%); the full table is in Settings, under The odds.
Why is nothing blooming in winter?
Cacti rest in winter and don't build toward a bloom. After a frost night, every mature cactus blooms in the frost at dawn. Orders in winter last five days, so there's no rush.
I changed my phone's clock and the wagon stopped coming.
When the clock goes backwards, the wagon waits until the date catches up. Your plants are fine.
How do I get my purchases back on a new phone?
Open Settings (the gear at the top) and tap Restore purchases. The Ranch Deed and packs are shared with your Family Sharing group too.
What if I refund the Ranch Deed?
You keep the extra pots, every pot you bought and everything you grew. The hired hand, the Rare Seed Stall and the third bench go back to town, and the greenhouse can't grow past the pots you already have.
Can I move my greenhouse to a new phone?
Your greenhouse is saved on the phone. An iPhone backup or a direct transfer to a new iPhone brings it along.
