Description:
This exemplar of cactus with a globose stem tends to become cylindrical over time. It has numerous ribs with pronounced tubercles, above which we find the fluffy white areoles. From the latter come out its radial and central spines: the first are radially arranged, yellowish-white and slightly curved towards the stem; the central spines are more robust, longer and brown or brownish in color. N. elegans gives beautiful funnel-shaped flowers that bloom at the apex of the stem and are yellow or light yellow and in the lower part of its petals it has slight reddish shades with a median line of the same color.

Plant care:
It likes very bright locations, but it can also stand direct sunlight in 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.
