Strombocactus disciformis crestato monstruoso Ø 12 cm

Belonging to the family of Cactaceae, this Strombocactus disciformis crestato monstruoso comes in a Ø 12 cm pot with a label indicating its botanical name. This Strombocactus disciformis crestato monstruoso is part of Cactusmania’s hybrid collection, has been cultivated for a long time, and has been selected for its hypnotic uniqueness.

Strombocactus disciformis crested monstruosa, on the other hand, is native to Mexico, where it grows on steep limestone cliffs and slopes, as well as on almost vertical canyon walls and alluvial cliffs of muddy rock and along stream beds.
The crested form of Strombocactus disciformis is very rare and sought after.
Due to the cresting, the stems flatten out and, depending on the specimen, take the form of a fan, a crest, a wedge or may form brain-like structures. Each crested form is unique because the phenomenon is linked to a genetic mutation that can produce a wide variety of twisted and strange stem shapes.
