Ariocarpus are the living rocks of the Chihuahuan Desert: slow, sculptural, and deeply collectible.
Seed grownCultivated in our greenhouseExact specimen pictured
Each Ariocarpus grows from a thick tuberous taproot and presses flat against the limestone, taking years to reach the size you see here. The whole genus is CITES Appendix I, so everything we offer is artificially propagated nursery stock, never wild collected.
Our Ariocarpus care guide and the species pages in the Ariocarpus encyclopedia cover the limestone substrate, sparse watering, and habitat behind every plant in this collection.
