Ariocarpus Trigonus Cactus Seeds

Ariocarpus trigonus is one of the largest species of Ariocarpus that is distinguished for the long leaf-like triangular tubercles and peculiar yellow flowers. It is quite variable in tubercle shape and size and has received numerous unnecessary names of no botanical value, representing no more than local phenotypes. In the area of Aramberri Ariocarpus trigonus intergrades with Ariocarpus retusus giving rise to a an hybrid population known as Ariocarpus confusus. It is probably the easiest species of the genus to raise from seed, but will generally take about 7-10 years to reach flowering size.
