Turbinicarpus alonsoi is ’n klein, stadig-groeiende kaktus wat geliefd is vir sy unieke tekstuur en subtiele skoonheid. Inheems aan Sentraal-Mexiko, het dit ’n afgeronde, effens plat liggaam met wollerige areole en sagte stekels wat sagkens met sy liggroen of blougroen vel saamsmelt. Wat dié kaktus egter regtig laat uitstaan, is sy groot, satynpienk blom wat uit die kroon verskyn — dikwels groter as die plant self. Perfek vir versamelaars van skaars vetplante. Dit hou van gruisagtige, goed dreinerende grond, min water, en helder, indirekte lig. ’n Stil, kalm plant met ’n verrassende vertoning wanneer dit blom.

Turbinicarpus alonsoi is a small, slow-growing cactus cherished for its unique texture and subtle beauty. Native to central Mexico, it features a rounded, slightly flattened body with woolly areoles and soft spines that blend into its pale green or bluish skin. Its true showstopper, however, is the large, satiny pink flower that emerges from the crown — often oversized compared to the cactus itself. Ideal for collectors of rare succulents, it thrives in gritty, well-draining soil with minimal water and plenty of bright, indirect light. A peaceful presence with a surprising flair when it blooms.

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.
