Description:

Very particular cactaceae, only species of its genus, formed by columnar stems not exceeding the 2-3 cm of diameter, but reaching even 2 metres of height, tending to prostrate towards the ground (hence the common name of " snake cactus"). Of a beautiful dark green, it is equipped with longitudinal ribs that are however completely hidden by the wild golden yellow thorns that cover it, heading both to wrap the body and outward. Due to its appearance due to the thorns, it is commonly known also as "golden cactus", even if with the growth the spines tend to darken. It is a plant very resistant to climate change; it has a rapid growth and is also very long-lived, because perhaps not many know that after about 10 years, when the stems will age, they will leave space to the buds to give life to new plants!

Plant care:

Loves positions in full sun and well ventilated.

It prefers temperatures as high as those of the deserts from which it comes, but it survives well even at temperatures close to zero, provided it remains completely dry.

It is recommended to water with moderation in summer, only when the soil is completely dry. In winter, it is preferable to suspend the water supply completely, as the plant goes into vegetative rest.

It is optimal a strongly draining substratum, consisting of specific soil for cacti, to which must be added sand or gravel to make it even more porous.

It does not need frequent fertilizations, it will be sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with the water of the waterings once a year.
