Ariocarpus agavoides

by admin

There are about 5-6 species of Ariocarpus, and A. agavoides may be the easiest to grow (as grafted plants). Ariocarpus agavoides hails from a few locations in Mexico. The species is now known to occur in San Luis Potosoi as well. You may read more about the species here (use Babel Fish to translate). The plants are small and difficult to find unless in bloom. The species grows in limestone soils, sometimes forming colonies of 6-12 plants per square yard. As with many cacti, A. agavoides is threatened by urban growth, agriculture, and collecting.
