Product Description

Ariocarpus scapharostroides is a rare and unique cactus species native to Mexico, known for its distinctive tubercles that resemble a starfish or the head of an arrow. When grafted, this plant benefits from increased growth rates and vigor. The grafted Ariocarpus scapharostroides features thick, fleshy, triangular tubercles arranged in a rosette pattern. The color ranges from green to greyish-green, often with a rough, textured surface. In autumn, it produces large, showy, pink or magenta flowers that emerge from the center of the rosette, adding to its ornamental appeal. This cactus is highly prized among collectors for its unique appearance and challenging cultivation requirements.
