Description:
This globular cactus is a solitary species, but in nature it can also found in large clusters, that exceed 40 centimeters in diameter. It consists of a body with a characteristic dark bronze color, equipped with protruding conical tubercles and large whitish spherical areoles. It has gold colored spines of different length, straight and needle-like. When it reaches its mature age we can see a considerable amount of a white down between the tubercles’ grooves. In early spring, the plant is embellished, near the apex, by a graceful corolla of small yellowish diurnal flowers.

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 5 °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 soil is a well-draining one, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice, sand or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
