About Aylostera pseudodeminuta
Aylostera pseudodeminuta is one of the most distinctive succulents in the Cactaceae family. Its origin is in Bolivia and northern Argentina. The most striking thing about this plant is small globose body with fine spines, a feature that defines its personality and sets it apart within its genus.
At Succulentae we produce Aylostera pseudodeminuta with artisanal technique in southeastern Spain, following a cultivation protocol that replicates the sun, dryness and mineral conditions of its native habitat. That's why you receive a robust plant, with marked natural color and hardened against sun and drought.
