A cylindrical cactus, which branches out to take on a shrubby appearance. Its stem, of a bright green color, has about 10 rounded ribs, on which downy areoles are formed with rigid golden spines with a brown tip, that with the maturity of the plant, become gray. During the flowering period, it blooms with diurnal white inflorescences. This plant is a must-have that cannot be missing from your cactus collection!
