O. miquelii in its normal form is a cactus with a cylindrical stem and branched green-blue colour. Its stem has numerous slightly silky areolas, from which many long and thick thorns of colour varying from yellow-brown to white-grey come out. It blooms in adulthood generating large white-pink cup-shaped flowers.

Plant care:
It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 3 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately and only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce it to once every two months in autumn and to suspend it 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.
