Description:
Geophytic cactus of a perfectly spherical shape, depressed at the apex, where a typical white down pops up. The color of the body may vary: quite often it is dark purple, but sometimes it may be even greyish-green or black. Its ribs are similar to tubercles, on which white areoles can be seen. Light and rather short combed spines grow out of those areoles, and are quite attached to the body of the plant. Its inflorescences have a funnel shape (common characteristic of this family), with colors, that can vary from pink to yellow.

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.
