Types of Blossfeldia

Blossfeldia

Blossfeldia (Blossfeldia liliputana) is an indigenous Bolivian clumping species that grows in rocky crevices in the wild. Blossfeldia is endangered in its native habitat due to illegal collecting, as this species is a highly valued ornamental plant. Among all cacti, blossfeldia is considered remarkably drought tolerant. It loses 80% of its moisture in a year without watering and can survive an additional year following that.
