Description:

Particular slow-growing cactus, characterized by solitary but also tufted habit. From its white areoles sprout tiny clear, flattened spines and, during the summer, it generates amazing white flowers, usually in clusters. Its stem, with a globular shape and rather depressed at the apex with slightly rounded ribs, has typically a grayish-brown color but, in the specific case of the variegated version, it shows yellowish patches due to the lack of chlorophyll. These spots are chromatic anomalies much sought after by enthusiasts, who never miss a chance to grab rare pieces.

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.
