Living Rock Cactus | Ariocarpus Retusus

Native to the harsh, rocky deserts of Mexico, this spineless cacti skips traditional cactus ribs altogether. Instead, it grows in a tight, rosette of thick, triangular, stone-like tubercles that look like carved limestone. To top it all off, it erupts with brilliant, satiny white-to-pink blossoms right out of the fuzzy center wool as autumn rolls in. Incredibly slow growing and highly coveted by collectors! LIGHT: Provide full sun for a minimum of 6 hours a day.  WATER: Allow soil to dry completely between thorough waterings during the growing season. When days begin to get shorter and temps drop, decrease your watering. Only give it a light splash of water every 6 weeks through the winter to keep it from completely shriveling up.  CARE LEVEL: Easy to moderate POT SIZE: 4 INCH Notes: Images are a representation of the plant you will receive. Each plant is unique, and small variations in leaf and plant size, color, etc. is to be expected.  To make sure your new green friends don't get stuck spending the weekend in a dark transit warehouse, we ship all of our orders out on Mondays!
