Ariocarpus retusus cv. (weak) Cauliflower

Regular price

Ariocarpus retusus cv. Cauliflower is a cultivated variant known for its pronounced wart-like features. Originating from selective cultivation by horticulturists, this variety showcases cauliflower-like protuberances, distinguishing it from standard Ariocarpus retusus. It's a slow-growing succulent, requiring well-drained, non-organic soil, and ample water during the growing season. Ideal growth occurs during the warmer months, making spring and summer the optimal growing season for this unique cultivar. 

This particular plant does not have the strongest traits of the Cauliflower cultivar but just enough, so we listed it as “weak cauliflower”.

Care

Like most xerophytes from Mexico, this cacti grows best in a high-mineral mix and requires infrequent watering.

This plant thrives in light shade although it can be acclimated to full sun.
