Description:
F. pottsii is a generally solitary globose cactus that can ignite with time. Its green-greyish stem is equipped with tuberculate ribs on which large round white areolas sprout. From the latter come out the radial and central spines: the first are straight whitish while the central ones are longer. Thanks to its monstrous shape, F. pottsii presents anomalies such as reliefs, asymmetries that make it a unique specimen; for this reason it is highly sought after by collectors all over the world. During the flowering period, in summer, beautiful funnel-shaped flowers bloom at the apex of the stem that form a yellowish and orange crown around 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.
