Description:

The crested shape of this plant is quite rare, characterized by a fan arrangement, different from the other genera, as it is more compact, but equally fascinating and particular. In its normal form it is a spherical cactacea, depressed at the apex, of a very variable color and shape. Its stem has multiple protuberances, well outlined by the chromatic contrast that is created. In the upper part it has a greenish pigmentation, while in the lower part it has purplish shades. The spines are short and straight, of a brownish-yellow color. Its funnel-shaped inflorescences are of a faded color that vary from white to pink.

Plant care:

It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight especially during the hottest hours of the day.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 7 °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 soil is a well draining one, for example formed by 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.
