Product Description

Ariocarpus agavoides is a rare and unique species of cactus, prized by collectors for its striking appearance and slow growth. Unlike many cacti, it lacks spines and instead features thick, fleshy, triangular tubercles that resemble agave leaves, from which it derives its name. The dark green to olive-colored tubercles form a low, compact rosette that blends seamlessly into the rocky terrain of its native habitat in Mexico. In autumn, Ariocarpus agavoides produces spectacular bright magenta-pink flowers that emerge from the center of the plant, creating a stunning contrast against the dark green body. This cactus is highly sought after for its rarity and beauty.
