Description:

Dwarf cactus, consisting of cylindrical stems that do not exceed a few centimetres in height, but tend to grow rather agglomerates, generating a sort of pleasant compact cushion with multiple heads. The epidermis of a bright dark green is equipped with roundish tubercles from which emerge thin whitish radial spines, needle-like and not very long. Between these ones, only rarely grow single pale or brownish central spines, similar to bristles slightly longer. The charm of this miniature cactus is accentuated both in spring and autumn, when small and delicate cream flowers bloom.

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.
