Description:
It is a small-sized cactacea of a globular shape, slightly concave at the apex. It is characterized by long and twisted spines, that completely wrap the plant, which is why it is more commonly known as "Bird's nest cactus". Its stem is green with well marked yellow streaks. It has soft, long and thin tubercles, typically found in Dolicothele, where they grow long needle-like spines of different shades of yellow. In late summer, it blooms with small white funnel-shaped flowers.

Plant care:
It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 5 °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.
