The extraordinary Strombocactus Disciformis is so rare, it is endangered in its natural habitat! Thus it is rarely available commercially and prized amongst cacti entheusiasts. This cactus is seed grown and has its own roots! The Disciformis has a blue-green stem and flattened tubercles, which give this species its distinct rhomboid geometric shape. Corky brown spots also develop with age, adding even more characteristic! 
 
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) aims to protect endangered species. Artificial propagation of plants is supported, as it increases the availability and variety of plants grown in a controlled environment and this improves access to supplies of rare, high quality, pest-free plants. Ultimately taking the pressure off of the wild population and adding protection to endangered wild species, like Ariocarpus.
 
Thus, all of the plants we sell are artificially propagated (i.e never taken from the wild).
 
Please note: Our plants are artificially propagated and do not require a CITEs certificate for sale in the UK.
 
Please note cactus may not be in bloom when received.
 
Plants will be sent bare rooted: Please ensure that you have your substrate and pot ready for your new plant! Sending plants bare rooted is the safest way to protect them, from damage in transit and rot.
 
Caution: Toxic if eaten.
