Cactus Seeds Information

Cactus Seeds are a type of seed. Mature plants yield Cactus Fruit.

They can be purchased only from Sandy at the Oasis for 150g. Two to five Cactus Seeds can also be obtained from a Sandfish or Scorpion Carp Fish Pond when the population of the pond reaches 10. Fifteen Cactus Seeds may occasionally be found in treasure rooms in the Skull Cavern.

Cactus Seeds can be planted outdoors on the Farm, but will be either missing or dead the next day. Cactus plants may only be grown in the Greenhouse, or inside another building using a Garden Pot, or on Ginger Island.

Harvesting Cactus plants gives Farming experience points.

Cactus Seeds Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [802]. You will then receive the Cactus Seeds item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [802] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Cactus Seeds item.
