Coryphantha elephantidens, commonly known as the Elephant’s Tooth Cactus, is a distinctive and sculptural succulent native to the dry highlands of Mexico. Its bold, rounded form and pronounced tubercles give it a unique texture reminiscent of elephant teeth—earning it its memorable name.

This cactus features a large, depressed-globular body that often grows in clusters, creating a dense, eye-catching display. Each prominent tubercle is tipped with a rosette of short, curved spines in hues ranging from pale yellow to reddish-brown, beautifully contrasting with its cool blue-green skin. During spring and summer, mature specimens reward growers with funnel-shaped blooms in shades of soft pink, and occasionally yellow or white—adding a vibrant accent to its rugged form.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Architectural Shape: Depressed-globular form with bold tubercles creates a dramatic presence.

  • Striking Spines: Recurved spines in warm tones add contrast and texture.

  • 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.

Note: The plant you receive will closely resemble the photo shown, but natural variation is expected—each specimen is one-of-a-kind.
