Description:
This globe-shaped cactus specimen from Argentina expands to create new shots. Its green stem is equipped with marked tubercles above which are visible the thorns that come out from white fluffy areolas. The spines are long, flat, brown or greyish. The leaves of this plant are almost non-existent, as they are very small and fall soon. The flowering period is during late spring-early summer and at the apex of the stems bloom beautiful yellow-orange flowers.

Plant care:
It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.
It prefers rather mild temperatures, however it still survives even at temperatures close to freezing if the soil is dry.
Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once a week in spring and summer, and suspend watering 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.
