Description:
The variegated shape of this cactaceae has yellowish shades in places where there is a lack of chlorophyll; these shades will never be identical in plants making each of them unique and for this reason very appreciated by collectors. In its normal form it is a cactus with narrow cylindrical stems and grouped at the base. Green skin tends to redden when exposed to too much sun. From its areoles emerge thin, combed and white spines and only one central hooked spine of dark brown colour. In the period of its flowering, in spring/summer, beautiful white-pink flowers sprout that crown it.

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.
