Ariocarpus Retusus is a unique, slow-growing cactus native to Mexico, known for its distinctive, triangular, grey-green tubercles and lack of spines. This rare plant produces beautiful, funnel-shaped white or pink flowers in the fall, adding to its appeal. To care for Ariocarpus Retusus, provide well-draining soil, plenty of sunlight, and water sparingly, especially in the winter months when it is dormant. An interesting fact about this cactus is that it has been used traditionally by indigenous people for its psychoactive properties.

Ariocarpus Retusus is ‘n unieke, stadig-groeiende kaktus wat inheems is aan Mexiko, bekend vir sy kenmerkende, driehoekige, grys-groen knoppies en gebrek aan dorings. Hierdie seldsame plant produseer pragtige, tregtervormige wit of pienk blomme in die herfs, wat bydra tot sy aantreklikheid. Om vir Ariocarpus Retusus te sorg, voorsien goed dreinerende grond, volop sonlig, en water spaarsamig, veral in die wintermaande wanneer dit dormant is. ‘n Interessante feit oor hierdie kaktus is dat dit tradisioneel deur inheemse mense gebruik is vir sy psigo-aktiewe eienskappe.

  • Lig: Vereis helder, indirekte sonlig. Vermy direkte sonlig om die kleurvolle toppe te verbrand.
  • Water: Gee sparingly water en laat die grond heeltemal uitdroog tussen waterings. Gedurende die groei seisoen (lente en somer), water meer gereeld, maar verminder watering in die herfs en winter.
  • Grond: Gebruik ‘n goed dreinerende kaktusmengsel om wortelvrot te voorkom.
  • Temperatuur: Flora in warm toestande, ideaal tussen 18-30°C. Bescherm teen ryp en koue trekke.

Shipping Policy

**Shipping Policy for Plants**

At MantisPlants, we take great care in preparing and shipping your plants to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition.

Bare Root Shipping
All plants are typically shipped bare-rooted, meaning that the soil is carefully removed from the roots to prevent any damage during transit. We wash the roots to remove any remaining soil and allow them to dry before wrapping them gently in tissue paper. This process helps minimize stress on the plant and ensures its safe arrival to you.

Pot Shipping Option (Not Recommended)
While we do offer the option of shipping some plants in their pots, this is generally not advisable. Shipping a plant in its pot can result in root damage due to movement and stress during transit. The roots can become constricted or disturbed, which can harm the plant. If you are still interested in this option, it must be arranged in advance with the vendor, and we will take extra precautions to pack it as securely as possible. However, we highly recommend the bare-root shipping method to ensure the best possible outcome for your plant.

**Careful Packaging**
We take pride in our packing process to ensure your plant arrives safely. Every plant is carefully packed, with extra attention to detail to protect the roots and foliage. We take care to secure the plant during transit, and make sure it is cushioned and stabilized inside the shipping box to avoid damage.

Our goal is to make sure your plant reaches you healthy and ready to thrive! If you have any questions about the shipping process, feel free to reach out to us.
