Ann had one of these Ariocarpus fissuratus plants for a long time. It came in a cactus pkg of 3 plants from Walgreens or some drug store back in the 70s. I remember it sitting on a sunny window at Grant Street in Ft. Collins for several years. We moved to Wisconsin and it was one of the few house plants we had that lived long enough to make it to our house here on Winnebago st. We had it in some windows that probably didn't get enough light and we watered it when it didn't want water. In the late 1990s it died and we were both very sad. It took a long time to find a new one. The local greenhouses have never had any of these and we ended up buying some from places in Arizona. We found one in Iowa once. Now we have several of them from various greenhouses. This one is the largest and we found it on our vacation last spring.
