Description:
It is also known as “Joseph's Coat”, this is a miniature variant of the larger Opuntia monacantha. It is highly appreciated for its very particular white variegation, which can vary from creamy white and yellow to green or sometimes even to pink, and for its monstrous shape; each specimen is truly unique. It has a smooth and flattened stem with areoles, that are distant from each other, from which numerous small red spines emerge. It blooms with small red 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.
