Product Description

Ariocarpus retusus 'Green-Grey Form' is a unique, slow-growing cactus native to Mexico. This variety features a distinctive rosette of thick, triangular tubercles that are green to greenish-grey, almost spineless, and can grow up to 5 cm long. The plant has a sculpted, stone-like appearance, making it highly ornamental. In the fall, it produces large, funnel-shaped flowers that can range from white to pink, providing a striking contrast against its foliage. This cactus is adapted to arid environments and thrives in rocky, limestone-rich soils.
