Description:
Beautiful globe-shaped cactus, slightly depressed at the apex, equipped with well-protruding conical tubercles, among which comes out a delicate white fluff. At the apex of the cactus are present thin radial spines, well straight and whitish, to which alternate central spines long even some centimeters, very slender and turned outwards with their red-brownish tonality, which give M. scrippsiana a strongly wild and thorny appearance, pleasantly contrasted in summer by its small and delicate magenta flowers, which bloom crowning the apex with a touch of vivacity and elegance.

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.
