Description:
The name of this species comes from the Greek and literally means " insipid spine", referring to its strongly wild look. It is a wonderful cylindrical cactus, with dark green epidermis equipped with elongated conical tubercles, ending in white roundish areoles from which emerge peculiar short and thin spines. They are rranged radially to completely cover the stem with their candid shade, with vaguely pinkish tips. Between spring and summer you can admire a beautiful crown at the top of E. dasyacantha, consisting of small and delicate pink flowers with central brown stripes, absolutely original and easy to notice!

Plant care:
It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight especially during the hottest hours of the day.
It is preferable to keep it at temperatures not below 0°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 autumn and winter.
The perfect soil is a highly draining and porous one, for example a mixture of peat and pumice so that it does not stagnate the water.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
