Discocactus placentiformis Family: Cactaceae. Also known as D. crystallophilus. An interesting small cactus that produces attractive curved spines and a white fuzzy cephalium (head or cap) when mature. When young it grows like a regular green cactus, but once the cephalium starts growing (as this plant is just starting to do) it stops growing its green stem and only produces the head for the rest of its life. As time goes on this cephalium gets wider and fluffier and regularly produces white flowers out of it. 

This cactus is more tropical than most so it likes a bit more moisture than an normal cactus and should be kept above 50 degrees in winter. Protect from hot afternoon sun.

You will receive a plant shown in the images or one similar. Plants shown in a 4" pot.

Important Shipping Information

  1. PLANTS ARE SHIPPED BARE ROOT If you want me to send them in pots send me a message to discuss. Extra charges due to increased shipping costs will apply.
  2. Immediate Payment (eBay only) Sorry! I can no longer offer a delayed purchase option as the multichannel inventory management system I have started using requires this setting.
  3. No Delayed Shipping (eBay only) Once you pay I have to (and WILL) ship within 3 business days or eBay will lower my seller rating. I used to have a way to delay shipping but can no longer do this for the same reason as #2 above. Feel free to message me before buying to see if we can figure something out here, no promises though.
  4. Winter Shipping If you live in a cold climate consider including a 96 hour heat pack in your order during the cold months. I have them as a listing. Just add it to your order. If you don’t see them just message me.

Thank you!
