Description:
The crested form of this plant has the typical fan arrangement, extremely compact and rich in asymmetrical and sinuous ribs, which make the specimen truly one of a kind, similar to a marble sculpture! In its normal form, Myrtillocactus cochal has bluish-green columnar stems, with symmetrical and deeply furrowed longitudinal ribs. From small and rounded areoles, grayish and very straight spines emerge: the radial ones are shorter and thinner, the only central spine is longer, stronger and directed outwards. These characteristic quills tend to disappear in the crested form, to leave room for rare and microscopic darker thorns that allow to fully show all the sculptural beauty of the stem.

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 10 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately and only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, and reduce watering to once every two months in autumn and 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.
