Where can I buy a mini cactus plant?

[20 Smartness]

I want a mini cactus to sit on my desk at work that looks like any of theses:

I was looking at [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cactus-Finest-Mix-25-Seeds/dp/B004HMX8AG/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1307470816&sr=8-15[/url] but other products say about having special cactus soil with silica sand and shit in it. I just want a mini cactus in a pot :saddowns:

I'm in the UK and don't mind spending up to a tenner or something.

It'll die on your desk, unless your desk is outside, I think it will stay alive. Also if your desk is a window sill then it could sit there.
Anyways, here:

It'll stay alive if you keep a heat lamp on it. I've got three cacti growing inside.
Also, you can easily buy small cacti at Home Depot. The only thing I don't like about them is the fake flowers they glue to the cacti. One of mine has a bald spot with missing spines because of them.

You can get those at pretty much any garden centre, at least in Britain anyway.

IKEA does indeed have mini cactus plants. I have two that I bought roughly 8 years ago. They're still alive. The only thing I've done is moving them to a little bit larger pot.

can't be unseen!
Also, go to your garden store and look in their trash - they always throw tiny cactii out, I mean really realy tiny. I have two that started at like 1cm and now they're 6 inches. :3

I've bought some cactus seeds too, mixed variety. Apparently the way to go is to mix 1 part potting soil with 1 part sand, and throw in some gravel. Will post how I get on.
