Description:

It is a showy globular cactus, which with growth tends to become columnar, up to two meters in height. It has tuberculous ribs, with prominent very long, flattened and often hooked spines, which create a yellow to red colored vortex, tending to become black with age: a truly extraordinary and unique whirlwind of quills! Between May and July the wild aspect of this plant is "softened" by large yellow flowers of reddish shades, which bloom abundantly at the apex of the cactus.

Plant care:

It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sun rays, especially during the hottest hours of the day, as long as they might burn the leaves.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 6 °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 one is a very well-draining soil specific for cacti.

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