Plants
This section of the shop is dedicated to those products of which more specimens are available for purchase. For this reason, the photograph associated with each one is only an example and not an exact sale item, even if it is usually a specimen selected from those offered, or images of the mother plants from which it derives, and in this case the caption on the image specifies that it is just an example. These images therefore faithfully represent what the customer buys.
In addition to the photographic image, each species is accompanied by a short description of its salient features. We did not consider it necessary to insert the botanical description of each product, of which there are abundant references on the internet, as well as detailed information on its cultivation. This information, albeit of an indicative nature, will be provided on the pages dedicated to each single genus or category which can be accessed by selecting the navigation icons above this text.

Ariocarpus retusus f. elongatus
The invented name (it has no scientific value) refers to a type of Ariocarpus retusus, particular for its elongated tubercles and with more or less rounded edges. The flowers in the plants we grow are always ice-white. Learn More -
Ariocarpus retusus ssp. scapharostroides
Species characterized by the light green color of the cuticle and the presence of small areolas on the top of the tubercles. Very large ice-white flowers. Learn More -
Ariocarpus scaphirostris
It is the most fascinating and extreme form of adaptation of the genus Ariocarpus to unfavorable growth conditions caused by very sunny positions, substantially rocky soils and high aridity. In nature the plants live almost buried, leaving only the apex of the tubercles protruding to carry out photosynthesis. More sensitive than other species to water stagnation and to the presence of organic substance in the soil which easily causes the onset of root rot. Learn More -
Astrophytum asterias
Gonzales, Mexico.
The most characteristic among the species of its genus, for the solitary stem, pressed to the ground that vaguely recalls the skeleton of a sea urchin. Its large flowers are a beautiful light yellow color with a red throat. It resists well below zero if kept dry in winter. The species is at risk of extinction because it is continuously poachd in the wild. Learn More -
