Description:

Wild looking cactus, consisting of a globose stem of a bright green, tending to become slightly cylindrical with growth and equipped with conical tubercles very prominent. At the apex of the latter, from roundish white areolas, come out greyish radial spines, long and thin, arranged like a ray; the central spines are instead one or two, almost black, and turn outwards for a length of even 3 cm and a robustness that gives the species the name "gladiispina", from the Latin "spine similar to a sword". At the apex of the cactus, large, pale yellow flowers bloom, with a silky sheen that is truly incomparable.

Plant care:

It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight especially during the hottest hours of the day.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 5 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.

Water moderately and only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce it to once every two months in autumn and to suspend it completely in winter.

The best soil is a well draining one, for example formed by a mix of peat and pumice so that water does not stagnate.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
