Product Description

The Pfeiffera monacantha Seeds are small, round to slightly oval, and dark brown to black with a smooth, glossy surface. These seeds are adapted to epiphytic growth, meaning they naturally germinate in crevices of tree bark or rocky surfaces. Their tough outer coat helps retain moisture while protecting the embryo inside. Due to their compact size and resilience, these seeds develop into trailing or cascading cacti with segmented stems and delicate spines. As they mature, they produce vibrant flowers, making them a fascinating choice for collectors of epiphytic cacti.
