Description
Aztekium Ritteri Cactus
The Aztekium ritteri cactus (commonly known as the Aztec Cactus) is a legendary, highly coveted miniature species native exclusively to the steep limestone and gypsum cliffs of Galeana in Nuevo León, Mexico where it clings to almost vertical walls. Named for its striking resemblance to intricate Aztec sculptural patterns, it is famous in the botany world for being one of the slowest-growing cacti in existence, typically averaging just 1mm of growth per year.
