Product Description

Ariocarpus retusus 'Grey Form' is a unique, slow-growing cactus native to Mexico. It features a distinctive rosette of thick, triangular, and greyish-green tubercles that are almost spineless. The tubercles can grow up to 4 cm long, giving the plant a sculpted, stone-like appearance. It blooms with large, funnel-shaped white or pink flowers, typically in the fall. This species thrives in arid environments, adapted to rocky, limestone-rich soils. Its rare and ornamental qualities make it a prized specimen among cactus enthusiasts.
