Tamaulipas Living Rock Cactus
Description
Ariocarpus agavoides is a unique and highly sought-after cactus species. It is characterized by its distinctive, triangular tubercles, which are arranged in a rosette pattern, similar to an agave. The tubercles are a grayish-green color. The plant is stemless, growing flush with the ground. It produces beautiful flowers that emerge from the center. Ariocarpus agavoides is slow-growing and relatively rare in cultivation. These cacti prefer well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. To cultivate it successfully, avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
