Thelocactus

Mix of Thelocactus, featuring various species, hybrids, and seed-grown cultivars. Each plant is one-of-a-kind, with unique shapes, spination, and flower colors.

Free branching species that forms readily large clumps with several stems. Flowers yellow. Rare.

Grey-green stem, long greyish to yellow-brown spines. Flower pink to purple.

Flattened stems with wide, polygonal-rounded (hexagonal or pentagonal based) tubercles. Flowers silvery-white or pinkish.

Thelocactus saussieri (not to be confused with Thelocactus lausseri) is a morphological form of the variable Thelocactus conothelos, distinguished by darker purplish flowers, fewer and shorter spines, and a flatter growth habit.

Thelocactus tulensis is a globular and strongly tubercled cactus with larger white to pink flowers. The spines are straw coloured up to 7 cm long, evenly distributed on the stem, straight to twisted and flattened.

Thelocactus multicephalus is a beautiful species with a blue-green marbled stem, completely divided into tubercles. The spines are variable in length, yellowhish, ochre, greyish or brown, straight. The flowers are white to pinkish.

Globular cactus with prominent tubercles and showy yellow blooms. Its straight vertical central spines (2-7 cm long) range from golden to reddish-brown when young, fading to grey. The vibrant flowers offset the spination beautifully.

Mixed forms of different hybrid origin with variegated body. Variegated plants have sectors, patches or stripes with two or more colours. Plants with variegated body are highly prized. Very variable.

White-flowered form – Exceptionally rare cultivar, seldom available. Future availability uncertain, making each specimen a potentially once-in-a-collection opportunity.

Distinctive spherical-depressed cactus with ribs divided into broad tubercles fully separated into wide tubercles. Stem colors vary from blue-green to deep burgundy. Showy bright purple flowers emerge in early summer.

Plants grown from seed and entirely on their own roots, never grafted, selected for pronounced yellow stem variegation. They produce purplish flowers, confirming the species’ typical tendency toward early blooming, even at a young stage.
