Description:
The variegated shape of this cactaceae presents the typical yellow zones in the exact points where the chlorophyll is absent; such zones will never be identical from one plant to another, thus making each exemplar absolutely unique and, for this reason, very sought after by collectors. It is a small cactus with globose stem, with slightly sunken and woolly apex. It has bright green tubercles, pyramidal in shape and very pronounced, from which emerge slightly curved needle-like thorns with a brownish hue, extremely thin and rather long. It blooms in spring crowned with small bell-shaped flowers on the notes of a beautiful pink-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.
