Description:
A small cactacea, mostly underground, that even experts sometimes can't easily identify, since there are loads of numerous varieties, that differ both for the color (ranging from green, sometimes even bright green, to purple, and even black) and for the spines (there are some varieties without spines, some are with microscopic spines, others with longer spines), eventhough with aging all occult Neoporterias tend to lose their spines. The inflorescences of this cactus bloom with the shades of yellow or orange-pink, though always maintaining very soft colors.

Plant care:
It likes very bright places, however, avoid direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day.
It prefers rather mild temperatures, however it still survives even at temperatures close to freezing if the soil is dry.
Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once a week in spring and summer, and suspend watering 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.
