Description:
The crested shape of this cactaceae has a very particular fan crest and will never be identical in different plants. For this reason the plant is highly appreciated by collectors around the world. In the normal form M. ernestii is a globose cactus that over time can become columnar. The green stem has numerous protruding tubercles above which we find its thin spines of yellowish color. During the flowering period the plant is crowned with multiple flowers with bright colors of a purple fuchsia.

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.
