Ariocarpus retusus cv PECTINATUS SEEDS

The Ariocarpus retusus cv PECTINATUS is a striking cultivar known for its refined structure and fan-like tubercles, making it one of the most elegant members of the Ariocarpus genus. Its compact rosette grows low to the ground, with flattened, triangular tubercles arranged in perfect geometric order. What makes this form stand out is the presence of fine, pectinate (comb-like) striations that give the plant a sculptural, almost carved look under direct light.

Collectors highly value the Ariocarpus retusus cv PECTINATUS not just for its rarity, but for its clean form and slow, symmetrical growth. The tubercles have a dusty green to grayish hue, often highlighted with a chalky bloom that protects the plant in harsh sunlight. In late autumn, it produces a central bloom of silky pink or magenta flowers, adding a surprising splash of color against the muted body. This form remains solitary, making each plant a truly individual specimen.
