Description:
It's an extremely small cactus, highly sought after by green collectors for its rarity. It was discovered in 1992. It is a monospecific genus (unique in its genus). It is a particularly slow-growing plant, generally solitary, that can also cluster over time. It has a spherical and flattened shape and is of a blue-gray color. Its ribs are deeply furrowed and well delineated, which have barely visible areoles and microscopic whitish spines. Its tiny light magenta inflorescences with white undertones at the throat occur intermittently from spring to autumn.

Plant care:
It requires an exposure to full sun. However, it can be placed in a partially shaded area only if it still receives a lot of light throughout the year.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 5 °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 the plant once a week in spring and summer and suspend watering completely in winter.
The best soil is a well draining one, so to avoid rotting, for example a mixture of peat and pumice so that the water does not stagnate.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
