Description:

The variegated shape of this cactus presents the typical yellow zones in the exact points where the chlorophyll is absent: these characteristics will never be the same from one plant to another, therefore each exemplar will be absolutely unique and, for this reason, very sought after by collectors. Its yellowish variegation, in fact, creates a fantastic harmony of colors and a very eye-catching visual impact. G. erinaceum is a small, globose cactus with a solitary shape. Its stem, olive green, has tubercles and ribs with woolly areolas from which emerge short and thin spines, slightly curved, dark brown at the base and white-gray at the apex. In spring it generates funnel-shaped flowers of white color.

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.
