Product Description

The seeds of Neoporteria nidus var. senilis are tiny, dark brown to black, with a slightly rough and matte texture. Their compact, rounded shape ensures efficient moisture retention, an adaptation to their native arid regions. These seeds hold the potential to grow into a fascinating globular cactus with dense, fine spines that resemble a delicate white nest, contrasting beautifully with its deep-colored body. As it matures, it produces stunning, funnel-shaped flowers, making it a highly desirable species for collectors.
