Product Description

The Ariocarpus retusus x kotschoubeyanus IB19C is a rare and captivating hybrid cactus known for its beautifully arranged tubercles that blend the traits of both parent species. It forms a compact, flat rosette with fleshy, triangular tubercles arranged in mesmerizing geometric patterns. These tubercles are smooth and leathery, colored in shades of grayish-green to bluish-green, giving the plant a stone-like, camouflaged appearance. In autumn, it produces spectacular pink to magenta flowers that emerge from the center, offering a striking contrast against its textured body. This IB19C hybrid is highly prized for its rare form and remarkable beauty, making it a collector's treasure.
