Description:
It is a globose cactus, slightly depressed at the apex, formed by numerous ribs, often wavy, strongly narrow and pronounced. The colour of the plant varies considerably from light green to darker green depending also on the period of the year and the exposure. It is, however, always strongly and pleasantly in contrast with the robust spikes in the shape of awl, curved and greyish. The real charm of N. erinaceus is manifested in spring, when from the woolly apex huge yellow flowers bloom. They have a reddish throat, so shiny as to seem almost artificial, with a wonderfully silky and shiny appearance!

Plant care:
It likes very bright locations, but it can also stand direct sunlight in 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.
