Ariocarpus

Tubercles with a finely warty surface with creme to yellowish wool in the groove and in the center of the rosette. Very beautiful and characteristic.

Ariocarpus fissuratus v. hintonii is a solitary geophyte cactus, rosette-shaped with triangular, rough, dark green verrucose tubercles. The flowers are pinkish-magenta up to 4 cm in diameter. It is an extremely slow growing species.

Ariocarpus agavoides is one of best species but very slow growing. The plants on sale are 5-6 years old seedlings.

Very small plants, very nice.

Flowering size!

Smaller than the type, with small smooth, beak-shaped tubercles and pale mauve flowers, often with a high percentage of white in the outer petals.
