Description:
It is a spherical cactus, which with growth assumes a "massive" shape, due to the proliferation of its cylindrical club-shaped stems. The epidermis is bright green, embellished with yellow variegations, which make each specimen truly unique, therefore highly appreciated by cactus collectors. Its tubercles, between which a thick down is formed, are very pronounced, are located close to each other, are quite compact (hence the name 'compressa'). Its spines, which vary in color from chalk white to brown, are very small and short. In winter and spring, small bell-shaped flowers bloom, which vary in color from purplish-pink to deep red.

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 it once a week in spring and summer, reduce watering to once every two months in autumn, and to suspend it completely in winter.
The best soil is a well-draining one, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice, sand or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
