Description:
The monstrous shape of this cactus completely changes the nature of the normal plant: this form, grown in a nursery, in fact consists of a strongly aggregated body, with a central stem, to which small groups of tubercles are aggregated. Each "leaf" has the same greyish-green color and the same triangular cross-sectional shape, as the normal Leuchtenbergia, but reaches a maximum length shorter than the standard Leuchtenbergia has, a maximum of 5 cm, while maintaining a similar diameter. At the apex of each tubercle, flexible spines, maximum of a few centimeters long, branch off from greyish areoles, that are sometimes very downy.

Plant care:
It likes very bright places, however, avoid direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 10 °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, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice, sand or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
