Description:
It is a small, light green, globular cactus, that grows spontaneously in a mountainous area of Paraguay, which is completely isolated from other vegetation. It has rounded and slightly tuberculated ribs, from which spines sprout: the radial ones are straight and rather long, of a grayish color; the single central one, which is present on each areole, is very robust and pungent, usually of a gray color and particularly rough to the touch. It is a very popular plant, as long as it represents a perfect combination of the reduced need of care and the extremely exotic appearance!

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.
