Description:

Columnar cactus, which with time tends to grow in height and branch at the base. The stem, of a violet-green color, has multiple well defined protruding tubercles, equipped with small round and fluffy areoles. The variegated shape presents the typical lighter areas in the exact points where the chlorophyll is absent: these characteristics will never be the same from one plant to another, therefore each exemplar will be absolutely unique! Its radial spines, star-shaped, are white, while the central ones are long and hooked, of yellow-brownish color. During the spring you can admire, at night, its beautiful funnel-shaped flowers of scarlet red color.

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 it 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.
