Description:

Beautiful succulent that is very sought after by the collectors for some features of its epidermis: the variegated form of this cactus presents the typical yellow zones in the exact points where the chlorophyll is absent, so, each exemplar will never be identical to the others. In its normal form, it is a rare succulent , with its globose stem coloured of green or greyish-green tone covered by rounded tubercles. The white-reddish thorns are thick and rigid. From the apex of the plant, in spring, grow wonderful white or light pink flowers. T. hexaedrophorus f. variegated is a plant of easy cultivation suitable also for neophytes.

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 4 °C, for this reason it is recommended to place it in sheltered and ventilated locations during the winter period.

Water moderately, only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once a week in spring and summer, once a month in autumn and to suspend watering completely in winter.

The best option is a soil suitable for cacti, even better if further mixed with pumice or lapilli.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
