Description:

Rare solitary plant with a monstrous shape that makes each specimen unique and therefore highly sought after by collectors from all over the world. Commonly known as "mother-in-law's pillow", it is a globular cactus with slow growth, which can create clumps over time. Its body is light green in color, slightly concave at the top, where over time a thick white fluff similar to a pillow forms. It has many well-defined ribs, with numerous fluffy areoles of white-yellowish color, from which short and rigid white thorns emerge.

Plant care:

It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 8 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.

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

The best option is a substrate suitable for cactaceae, as long as it is well draining.

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