Ariocarpus fissuratus
Living rock cactus
Description
Ariocarpus fissuratus is a remarkable cactus species, prized for its unique, camouflaged appearance. This plant has a flattened, rock-like body, making it blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings. The tubercles are triangular and have a rough texture. The flowers are large and often pink or white, appearing in late summer or fall. It is a slow-growing cactus and is highly sought after by collectors. Ariocarpus fissuratus needs well-draining, mineral-rich soil and full sun exposure. Avoid overwatering, as it is susceptible to root rot. Propagate through seeds.
