Description:

M. spinosissima in its crested form has yellowish shades in the points of the epidermis where there is a lack of chlorophyll; in addition to this it has a very particular fan crest, thanks to its crested shape. These two characteristics make the plant unique and much appreciated by collectors around the world. In its normal form is a columnar cactus that can reach 40 cm in height. It has a green stem entirely covered by numerous thorns with colors ranging from white to brownish. In spring the flowers bloom from pink to purple and form a crown around the apex of the plant.

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.
