Cacti - Corypantha Elephantidens
Coryphantha elephantidens, also known as the Elephant's Tooth cactus, is a remarkable and charismatic succulent native to the arid regions of Mexico. This captivating cactus is characterized by its large, depressed-globular shape, often growing in clusters or clumps. Its most distinctive feature is its prominent, rounded tubercles, which resemble elephant's teeth, hence its common name.
Each tubercle is adorned with a cluster of stout, recurved spines, varying in color from pale yellow to reddish-brown. These spines create a visually striking contrast against the cactus's blue-green skin. In the spring and summer, mature plants produce beautiful funnel-shaped flowers, typically pink, but occasionally yellow or white. These vibrant blooms add a splash of color to the cactus's otherwise austere appearance.
Coryphantha elephantidens is a sun-loving and drought-tolerant plant, making it an ideal choice for arid gardens, rock gardens, or container displays. Its unique appearance and ease of care have made it a popular choice among cactus enthusiasts and collectors.
The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 80mm 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.
