Description:
It is a solitary cactacea of a cylindrical shape that does not exceed 30 cm in height. It has a robust stem, depressed at the apex, with numerous cylindrical tubercles, which are covered with a whitish down. From the yellowish areoles two wonderful central spines emerge, that are of a golden-yellow color with a brownish tip (the lower spine is up to 15 mm long, curved downwards, while the upper one is up to 5 mm long, curved upwards), accompanied by numerous thin radial spines of a creamy white color, about 2-4 mm long. During the flowering season, it produces spectacular pale pink inflorescences with a brighter central line.

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.
