General Description: Coryphantha Mix is a diverse collection of globular cacti known for their distinctive tubercles, central spines, and large, colorful flowers. Native to Mexico and the southwestern United States, these cacti are often called “beehive cacti” due to their rounded shape and clustered growth. They are highly prized for their ease of care and stunning yellow, pink, and white flowers.
Possible Species in the Mix: This mix may include a variety of species from the Coryphantha genus: • Coryphantha elephantidens – Large, soft tubercles and pale pink flowers. • Coryphantha cornifera – Noted for its curved spines and bright yellow flowers. • Coryphantha clavata – Compact with long central spines and yellow blooms. • Coryphantha andreae – Produces golden-yellow flowers and has a clumping growth habit. • Coryphantha recurvata – Recognized for its hooked spines and pale yellow blooms. • Coryphantha radians – Features radial spines with pink or purple-tinted flowers. • Coryphantha robustispina – Known for its strong spines and large yellow or orange flowers.
Plant Characteristics: Coryphantha cacti are generally globular or cylindrical, growing up to 15–20 cm in height. They are distinguished by their tubercles (rounded projections), which bear spines and woolly areoles at the tips. The flowers emerge from the top of the plant in spring and summer, creating a vibrant display.
