Description:
It is a small columnar cactus, made up of cylindrical stems, entirely covered with long and thick white hairs, that seem to cover it, hence its name of "dressed Opuntia". Its particular crested shape, which makes it unique in its kind and therefore highly appreciated by green collectors, arises from the wounds of the young plant: it is a reaction to the lesion, the cells at the extremities begin to multiply and grow with a frenetic speed, overlapping and giving life to its characteristic fan shape. At the ends of its stems it rarely generates flowers, ranging in color from deep red to purple.

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.
