Ortegocactus is a monotypic genus consisting of only this very unusually silvery-green cactus from the limestone soils of Oaxaca. The color is likely a result of evolution favoring plants that blend in with the local lichens, helping the plants evade predation by birds and rodents. Highly sought after by collectors. Clumps with time. Plants are grown from cuttings in 2.25" pot. Ships bare root.
