Ariocarpus trigonus var. elongatus (Ariocarpus elongatus) In a group of plants known for many interesting oddities, Ariocarpus elongatus is one of the great curiosities of the succulent world. It produces longer and thinner tubercles up to as much as 4 cm long. Depending upon growing conditions, the plants may be consistently pale green to blue-green or may be greyish-green. Over time (several decades), the stems eventually grows up to 25 or more cm in diameter.

There is no pre-treatment of the seeds required.

The seeds are sown in mineral-based cat litter (no clumping litter) or perlite (germ-free) in plastic-pots. Please sow the seeds on the mineral soil. Bigger seeds need to be covered with the mineral soil, small seeds should remain on the surface.

Then put the plastic pot in a zip-lock bag - with a pot size of 6 cm , a zip-lock bag of size 12 x 17 cm is recommended . Fill in the zip-lock bag as much tap water with a few drops of universal fertilizer, so that after the absorption of the substrate a few mm of water remain on the bottom. 

Location: on the windowsill or in a small greenhouse in partial shade, daytime temperatures at about 73-83 F, somewhat lower at night at 68-72 F. 

Price is for 3 seeds
