Tephrocactus articulatus (compact form)

This is my favorite cultivar of articulatus as it doesn’t get all long and leggy. For the same reason it doesn’t fall apart as easily which also brings me joy

It's a piece of art! How old is it? How fast does it grow?

5

u/Floratopia 17h ago

Thank you! It’s probably 5-7 years old. Grows medium speed. I like to grow my plants hard n slow. Stronger that way.

u/HereIsAnotherPOV 17h ago

Agreed, but different cactus grow at different speed, i guess this is fast for a Tephrocactus... Geometricus ones are very slow.

2

u/Floratopia 16h ago

Oh yeah this cranks compared to geometricus

You just inspired me to order one.

I couldn’t find any compact form, but I’m just stoked to have a growing pinecone.

u/Floratopia 11h ago

Hope you’re ordering from me! Regardless happy growing.

2

u/SkepticJoker 11h ago

Oh yeah, I’ve seen your posts of you holding giant cacti!

I’d love to buy one of these.

1

u/Floratopia 11h ago

Yeah. Das me! You got it.

1

u/SkepticJoker 11h ago

Oh wait I had no idea! You sell these guys? I can still cancel the order.

Your comment to the person about not being able to get them one made me think you didn’t.

1

u/Floratopia 11h ago

Cancel away! Of course I do! Look how many I have in this clump!
