Coryphantha elephantidens – The Sculptural Beauty of the Highlands

• Seasonal Blooms: Eye-catching pink flowers bring seasonal interest.

• Low Maintenance: Thrives in full sun and dry conditions, perfect for rock gardens or container displays.

Plant Details:

• Pot Size: Supplied in a red 80mm diameter pot.

• Growth Habit: Clumping over time with proper care.

• Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade.

• Watering: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings; very drought-tolerant.
