Description:
This plant has considerable variations, based on the native location, especially regarding the color of the spines, which can vary in color from white to black, or sometimes they are even spine-free (a variant, which is highly sought after by green collectors). It is purplish, almost black, of an exactly geometric spherical shape, depressed at the apex, with ribs, similar to very small and well-marked tubercles, and areoles, from which microscopic thin spines emerge. At the apex, in late spring, it blooms with yellow to reddish funnel-shaped inflorescences, surrounded by a black down.

Plant care:
It likes very bright places, however, avoid direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day.
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 spring and 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.
