Description:

N. conoidea is a cactus exemplar with a cone-like trunk, for this reason it is also commonly called "Cone cactus". Its stem is green or bluish-green and has well marked tubercles. The strong point of this cactus are its spines: from the white fluffy areolas emerge the radial spines arranged in rays, numerous, thin and white. The central units, instead, are more robust , longer and black in color, for a very eye-catching visual effect. During the flowering period, spring-summer, its beautiful funnel-shaped flowers bloom at the apex of the plant, with shades of pink or fuchsia.

Plant care:

It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.

It prefers rather mild temperatures, however it still survives even at temperatures close to freezing if the soil is dry.

Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once a week in summer and suspend watering 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.
