Scientific name:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ariocarpus fissuratus<\/p>\n Italian common name:<\/strong><\/p>\n Living Rock Cactus and Star Cactus<\/p>\n Family: <\/strong><\/p>\n Cactaceae<\/p>\n Origin:<\/strong><\/p>\n From the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango and Zacatecas to southeast Texas in the USA along the Rio Grande and near the lower Pecos River.<\/p>\n E<\/strong>nviorment<\/strong>: <\/strong><\/p>\n Calcareous plains or gentle slopes at altitudes between 500 and 1,200 meters above sea level. and more rarely on chalky soils.<\/p>\n Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n A geophytic plant producing a star-shaped rosette of fleshy, deltoid to hemispherical tubercles which have no spines and lie nearly flat on the soil surface. The stems are normally flush and well camouflaged with the soil surface which resembles limestone chips in shape, color and texture, making the plants extremely cryptic. They are grayish-green in color, sometimes taking on a yellowish tint with age. These cacti are hard to spot in their natural habitat. When they are found, it is usually due to their pinkish flowers.<\/p>\n Evergreen or deciduous:<\/strong><\/p>\n Evergreen<\/p>\n Toxicity:<\/strong><\/p>\n not known<\/p>\n Height: <\/strong><\/p>\n 10 \u2013 15 cm.<\/p>\n Width (extension): <\/strong><\/p>\n 20 cm.<\/p>\n Tubercles:<\/strong><\/p>\n as long as they are wide they are closely packed and form a coarse mosaic. The exposed faces of the tubercles, deeply fissured on either side of the central areolar sulcus, are coarsely wrinkled and are angulated at the apex and with a lateral longitudinal groove on each side of the tubercle, along the edge.<\/p>\n Flower: <\/strong><\/p>\n bright mauve or dark pink with white pistil and stigma and yellow anthers. 2.5 – 5cm high. and twice as wide as long when fully expanded. The flowers last 3 to 4 days.<\/p>\n Flowering:<\/strong><\/p>\n September October November<\/p>\n Fruit:<\/strong><\/p>\n White or green, with many seeds. Hidden in the central fluff.<\/p>\n Root: <\/strong><\/p>\n Central turnip-like taproot that lies below the soil surface and serves for water conservation.<\/p>\n Light Exposure:<\/strong><\/p>\n Very bright and sunny so as to also ensure rapid drying of the culture substrate. If it’s very hot, the plant can withdraw until it is covered by the ground and feeds on the taproot which still remains alive.<\/p>\n They are endangered, despite being abundant in their own habitat, so they are protected in existing areas.<\/p>\n Soil type:<\/strong><\/p>\n Substrate will be very mineral and with less organic substance than the basic compost for cacti possibly supplemented with a little clay.<\/p>\n pH 6 – 7<\/p>\n Italian climatic area:<\/strong><\/p>\n In the greenhouse it is grown everywhere, in the open ground only in the central and southern regions.<\/p>\n Need for water:<\/strong><\/p>\n in the growing season they should be watered weekly<\/p>\n Propagation: <\/strong><\/p>\n Seed reproduction.<\/p>\n Pruning:<\/strong><\/p>\n removing only withered flowers or dead parts<\/p>\n Diseases: <\/strong><\/p>\n They can be infested with mealybug or spider mites. If grown in an unsuitable substrate, it could develop rot (Fusarium oxyporum)<\/p>\n Cultivation:<\/strong><\/p>\n Easy even if very slow.<\/p>\n Thick fluff covers the central fissure. The name of the species ‘fissuratus<\/em>‘ (fissured\/cracked) therefore refers to this very particular surface characteristic of the species.<\/p>\n They are slow-growing plants, so much so that they can take up to twenty years to reach a size of 15 cm in diameter, if cultivated well.<\/p>\n They are usually solitary, rarely giving rise to lateral shoots from old areoles<\/p>\n The A. fissuratus<\/em> \u00e8 stata utilizzata dalle trib\u00f9 dei nativi americani come sostanza che altera la mente, come sostituto del peyote. While it does not contain mescaline-like species like peyote, it has been found to contain other centrally active substances, such as N<\/em>-methyltyramine and hordenine, albeit in doses too small to be active.<\/p>\n In the kitchen:<\/strong><\/p>\n no use<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][dmg_masonry_gallery gallery=”6523,6539,6537,6529,6531,6533,6535,6527″ columns=”1″ gutter=”210″ zoom_hover=”on” images_size=”dmg_image_extra_large” hover_overlay_effect=”nothing” columns_tablet=”2″ columns_phone=”1″ columns_last_edited=”on|desktop” gutter_tablet=”20″ gutter_phone=”20″ gutter_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_class=”gallery-schede-botaniche” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_align=”left” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dmg_masonry_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Consiglio MDG” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||20px||false|false” custom_padding=”10px|20px|20px|20px|false|true” border_radii=”on|15px|15px|15px|15px” border_width_all=”4px” border_color_all=”#d5de75″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If you crave this species, do not go and get it in the wild, you risk being fined.

Gli steli sono normalmente a filo e ben mimetizzati con la superficie del suolo che assomiglia a scaglie di calcare per forma, colore e consistenza, rendendo le piante estremamente criptiche. Sono di colore verde-grigiastro, a volte assumono una tinta giallastra con l'et\u00e0. Questi cactus sono difficili da individuare nel loro habitat naturale. Quando vengono trovati, di solito \u00e8 dovuto ai loro fiori rosati.<\/p>\r\n Sempreverde o decidua:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Sempreverde<\/p>\r\n Tossicit\u00e0:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n non conosciuta<\/p>\r\n Altezza: <\/strong><\/p>\r\n 10 \u2013 15 cm.<\/p>\r\n Larghezza (estensione): <\/strong><\/p>\r\n 20 cm.<\/p>\r\n Tubercoli:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n lunghi quanto larghi sono fitti e formano un mosaico grossolano.
