Description:
Small shiny dark green cactus, which does not reach considerable size but is appreciated for its rounded shapes and at the same time never perfectly symmetrical; it is made up of irregular ribs and rounded tubercles, very fleshy and clearly visible, from the center of each of which sturdy flat greyish spines protrude, rather long and arranged like a five-pointed star. Depending on the variety, the quills tend to flatten along the body or remain partially protruding outwards. During the flowering season, at the apex of the cactus you can admire beautiful funnel-shaped flowers with white or yellowish tones.

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.
