Cacti Corypantha
Coryphantha, also known as beehive cacti, are a fascinating genus of small to medium-sized cacti native to arid regions of North America. They are characterized by their unique globular or cylindrical shapes, prominent tubercles (raised bumps), and beautiful, often large, flowers that bloom at the top of the plant.
Key Characteristics:
Tubercles: Coryphantha cacti lack ribs, instead featuring spiraling tubercles that are often grooved or furrowed. These tubercles give the plants a distinctive textured appearance.
Spines: Each tubercle bears an areole, from which spines emerge. The spines can vary in color, length, and density depending on the species, ranging from short and fine to long and robust.
Flowers: The flowers of Coryphantha cacti are a major attraction. They are typically large and showy, appearing at the apex of the plant.
Cultivation:
Light: Coryphantha cacti prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
Water: Water moderately during the growing season (spring and summer), allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter.
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.
Additional Information:
Coryphantha cacti are relatively easy to care for, making them a popular choice for both novice and experienced cactus enthusiasts.
They are prized for their unique appearance, beautiful flowers, and compact size, making them ideal for container gardening, rock gardens, or desert landscapes.
The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
