Product Description

The seeds of Neoporteria nigrihorrida var. crassispinus are small, dark brown to black, and slightly glossy, with a finely textured surface that enhances water absorption. Their rounded to somewhat oval shape is accompanied by a subtle wrinkling or pitting, typical of arid-adapted cacti. As a variety known for its thick, fearsome spines and striking blooms, these seeds contain the potential to grow into a truly dramatic cactus. With proper care, they will develop into globular, ribbed plants adorned with intense red to magenta flowers.
