A beautiful slow-growing cactus with an initially solitary habit, that tends to cluster with age. Its stem is of a globular and flattened shape and of a brown-greyish color, has slightly rounded ribs. From its white downy areoles small sturdy combed spines emerge, initially of a dark brown color, that tend to turn gray with age. In spring, it blooms with pinkish-white flowers, that often have petals of white to reddish-brown shades, which normally remain open for up to twelve days.

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.
