Description:

This cactacea has the typical crested shape with a sinusoidal pattern, always different from one specimen to another and for this reason it is so much appreciated by collectors from all over the world. In its normal form it is a spherical cactus, which as it grows takes on a "massive" appearance with the proliferation of its cylindrical club-shaped stems. Its tubercles, between which a thick fluff is formed, are very pronounced, close together and firm . The spines, which vary in color from white to brown, are very small and short. In winter and spring you can admire small bell-shaped flowers of purplish pink to deep red colour.

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.
