Description:

The crested shape of this wonderful Echinofossulocactus has a mutation, the fan-shaped crest which makes it unique in its kind. No two crested specimens are identical, even of the same species as the crest appears different in different plants. This plant consists of a slightly depressed globose stem at the apex, a beautiful dull dark green. The most extravagant feature of this plant are its ribs, extremely close together and wavy, with an asymmetrical and pleasantly soft shape. Sometimes the ribs are so “eventful” that they become three-dimensional, with multiple protrusions that emerge like’ ripples.

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 5 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.

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 and porous one, even better if further enriched with 50% or more of inert materials such as pumice, lapilli or clay.

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