Cultivation Tips for Ariocarpus trigonus var. major

For successful cultivation of Ariocarpus trigonus var. major, consider the following expert tips:

  6. Pest and Disease Control: Monitor the plant regularly for signs of pests such as spider mites or mealybugs. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

  7. Repotting: Repot Ariocarpus trigonus var. major every 2-3 years in spring, using fresh potting mix and slightly larger containers to accommodate root growth.
