Description:

The name of this cactus was chosen in honor of its first collector, Felipe Otero. It is a pleasant cactus with a globose body, equipped with very prominent conical tubercles of a beautiful dark green. Each stem does not exceed a few centimeters in diameter, but tends to tuft abundantly up to generate a kind of cushion with multiple extremely striking heads. From large white and woolly areoles come out clear radial spines, needle-like and radiated, rather long enough to create a thick weave that partially hides the stem. It is usually present a single central spine strongly hooked and tending to fade from the white to the reddish-brown of the tip. In the middle of the tangle of thorns, in spring, wonderful white flowers bloom, whose petals have a showy pinkish median line, for an overall appearance that reflects the perfect combination of elegance and ferocity!

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.
