D. araneispinus is one of the dwarf and more elegant Brazilian species rarely getting up to 5 inch before maturing and forming a cephalium, (the curious bristly head of the plant, which is a specialized structure in which the flowers and fruits are borne and protected.).

In addition, 72 hour heat packs will be used to keep optimal temperatures for the live plant(s). There is a small $3.50 charge for this winter shipping option and starting December 1st I will not ship any plants without it. Typically Priority Mail shipping takes 2-3 days but sometimes can take additional transport time due to rough winter and snow conditions. Shipping. All plants are normally shipped via USPS Priority Mail and First Class for a super heavy plant, unless the costumer instructs otherwise. This charge included shipping and handling cost. I highly recommend combined shipping to all my customers for discounted shipping rates on multiple orders. When more than one plant is won or purchased, the customer pays full shipping cost for the first plant with greatest value and a $2.00 fee for every additional plant. Shipping costs are subject to adjustment. The best way is to wait for the invoice when purchasing multiple plants. Please visit and like our Facebook page, Yellow Green Exotic Garden.
