Description:
F. wislizeni is a cactus with an initially globose shape, which tends to become cylindrical during growth. Its stem is of a dark green colour and has several well marked ribs (similar, in the mature exemplars, to an accordion), on which protrude white and woolly areoles. From these ones come out yellowish radial spines, long and thin, and more robust central spines, of reddish colour and curved at the apex. During the flowering period, from summer to early autumn, F. wislizeni gives us beautiful flowers with bright colors, from yellow to red-orange, with a characteristic reddish median line and darker shaded tips.

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.
