The crested shape of this wonderful cactus exemplar has a unique fan crest, as it will never be identical in two or more different plants. In the normal form, O. hintonii with its bright green stem is equipped with tubercles from which sprout multiple straight and fairly long spines, whose color can vary from brown to whitish. Its shape is not linear, the growth occurs irregularly, so it is not to be expected that you will find a plant with a vertical stem. This species is perfect to furnish any environment you want, its characteristics are very appreciated by collectors.
