Ariocarpus retusus v. scapharoides
Size : 2.5” pot.
Rare scale : 8/10
Plant Care :
Watering: Infrequent, thorough watering: Water only when the soil is completely dry to the touch. Water every 1-2 weeks (in hot, arid environments). During dormancy (winter) water sparingly, every 4-6 weeks, or stop altogether, depending on the environment. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Soil: Well-draining, gritty soil, or a mix specifically formulated for cacti or succulents that mimics their native rocky habitat.
Light: Bright, indirect sunlight, but avoid harsh midday sun, especially during the hottest parts of the day. A greenhouse with diffused light or morning sun and afternoon shade are ideal. If grown indoors, place near a south or west-facing window for optimal light. If grown outdoors, they can tolerate full sun to partial shade depending on the climate.
Temperature: Warm temperatures during growing season, ideally between 20°C to 35°C (68°F to 95°F). Cooler temperatures during dormancy, keep between 10°C and 15°C (50°F to 59°F). Protect from frost as it can damage the plant.
