Tephrocactus geometricus (Cactus)

The name of this beautiful plant comes from the Greek 'γεωμετρία' which means 'geometry', in fact its bluish-green stem has a ball shape and with the passage of time creates spherical branches. With prolonged exposure to the sun or cool autumn can take a purple color. From the upper areoles arise sparse and short spines ranging in color from white to black, curved downward. When it blooms it produces beautiful white to light pink flowers with a darker central stripe. You have to be very careful when moving or transferring the plant, because its parts come off easily. This particular cactus is perfect for decorating your designer pots.
