Description:

The name of the species comes from the Greek and literally means "multiple tubercles", in reference to the numerous protrusions from which this cactacea is formed. Of a nice bright light green, M. polythele develops a cylindrical shape that reaches even 40 cm in height, maintaining a diameter of a few centimeters. At the base of the great conical tubercles grows a candid down, as well as in the areolas at the apex of the protrusion, which in spring pleasantly contrasts with the small and delicate pink-pink flowers blooming as a corolla around the apex.

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.
