Description:

The crested shape of this cactus presents the typical fan-shaped arrangement, which makes each specimen absolutely unique, never identical to another and for this reason so much appreciated by collectors. In its normal form F. Horridus is a generally solitary globose cactus. The stem has a bluish-green color, and has well-defined ribs on which large round white areolas sprout. It has sparse and straight radial spines, curved inwards of cream white color and its central spines are more erect, hooked and of red-brownish color. Its funnel-shaped flowers are serrated at the edges, bright yellow in color.

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.
