Description:
It is a solitary, globular cactus with a dark green body, which over time can assume a cylindrical shape. It is characterized by long, twisted and thin creamy yellow spines, similar to soft and flexible hair, which almost completely cover the plant and make it easily identifiable. In late spring, funnel-shaped inflorescences of variable shades of pink with a paler throat are born at the apex, that are surrounded by a white 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.
