Description:

It is a small cactaceae with a solitary habit, occasionally might be of a prolifera form, which can reach up a maximum of six heads. Its stem is globular, similar to a barrel, has tuberculous ribs, on which downy white areoles can be seen. From these areoles white, long and thin radial spines come out, as well as hooked, yellow-golden, thick, twisted central ones. In summer, it blooms with beautiful yellow-orange flowers, that form some sort of a ring at the apex of the plant.

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.
