: Ariocarpus bravoanusSN|2073]]SN|2073]] subs. hintonii f. monstruosa rubra is an odd monstrous mutant forming tangled clusters of soft rubbery textured red stems, only a few centimeters across and the plant looks more like a red marine species or a coral than a cactus. This cultivar shows many growing variations with different monstrous shapes.

: Variegated and albinous cacti are regarded as choice and difficult in cultivation, but despite that many of them are relatively easy to grow. But be aware that they cannot tolerate prolonged exposure to direct sun light (especially during the hottest summer days), so grow them in half-shade or under filtered sun. They are sometime seen as grafted plants, but many grow well on their own roots, too.
On the contrary, the albinos can survive only if grafted on a strong green base.
Use mineral well-permeable substratum with little organic matter (peat, humus). Water sparingly from March till October and keep perfectly dry in winter at temperatures from 5 to 15 degrees centigrade. (In general these plants are more tender and cannot endure freezing temperatures ) In the rest period no high atmospheric humidity!!
Propagation: Almost usually by seed. Plants are often grafted onto column-shaped cacti.
