Cacti - Corypantha Elephantidens-80mm

Coryphantha elephantidens – Rare Highland Cactus | Bold Form & Textural Charm

Bring desert drama to your collection with Coryphantha elephantidens, a striking cactus prized for its bold geometry and sculptural presence. Commonly called the Elephant’s Tooth Cactus, this Mexican highland native features a distinctive depressed-globular shape, adorned with pronounced, tooth-like tubercles and warm-toned, recurved spines that add depth and contrast.

As it matures, it may form clumps, creating a striking display that’s both architectural and organic. In summer, it rewards with beautiful pink blooms that rise above its rugged form—an unexpected burst of color in a resilient, low-maintenance package.
