Ariocarpus are slow-growing cacti valued for geometric tubercles, textured surfaces and delicate flowers.
Ariocarpus have geometric tubercles and textured surfaces, quite unlike traditional ribbed cacti. Delicate flowers complete plants appreciated as much for their structure as for their slow growth.
Their thickened bases and roots require careful drainage. A suitable pot, small waterings during growth and protection from persistent dampness support their development without forcing it. Explore Astrophytum.
