Escobaria abdita - VZD1313

Escobaria abdita is a rare species endemic to a single lake bed in east-central Coahuila. These have not been tested outside and I suspect they are not hardy below 5F. But this small species is a fun plant to grow and one of the rarest plants in the cactus trade. These are 5 year old seed grown plants. Very few available. Plants pictured are what is available, about the size of a quarter to a little larger. These plants get a tuberous root and are supposed to be difficult to grow. In my dry climate, I find them no more difficult then Escobaria robbinsorum. These are seed grown plants. They are NOT grafted and NEVER have been grafted. Each plant is its own genetics. Buy at your own risk.
