Several species have thickened roots, so the pot size should also take the underground part into account. Slow growth benefits from careful watering and good airflow, without trying to speed development with excessive water or fertiliser. Explore the plants in the category Ariocarpus.

General care

  • Light: Plenty of light and gradual acclimatisation to sun.
  • Watering: Small, well-spaced waterings during growth; reduce watering as growth slows.
  • Compost: A fast-drying mix with a high mineral content and a pot suited to the roots.
  • Temperature: Protect from frost and the combination of cold with persistent moisture.
  • Maintenance: Avoid standing water in the pot and inspect the base before watering again.
