Parodia chrysacanthion f. crested. (Crested)

This wonderful specimen of globular cactus presents itself in this mutation showing off a very particular fan crest. Each crested plant is one of a kind and for this reason highly sought after by collectors all over the world. Parodia chrysacanthion is also called “golden powder puff” and can grow up to a diameter of about 10 centimeters. It has a flattened body at the apex, light green in color, completely covered with long golden needle-like spines, dense and well straight. At the apex the spines tend to thicken even more as they are directed upwards, truly creating the impression of golden down thanks to the thick presence of spines and white fluff. During the flowering period, in spring, it will give us beautiful yellow flowers.
