Description:
It is a columnar cactus, fiercely spiny. Over time it branches out, forming a shrub. Its robust green stem has 10-17 broad ribs, covered with downy whitish areoles, from which thick spines come out: the radial spines are creamy white color, with brown points, which with the growth of the plant become greyish; the central spines (1, but sometimes up to 4) are long and erect. In summer, you can admire its large and magnificent white flowers, tinged with red, which open up at night. Synonym: Echinopsis chiloensis var. borealis.

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 6 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it 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.
