Description:

The crested form of this beautiful cactus has a typical fan-shaped appearance, which makes each specimen unique and never the same as the others, therefore it is highly sought after by green collectors from all over the world. In its classic form it is a cactacea plant of a columnar and cylindrical shape, surrounded by hairy and long filaments at first yellowish, which later take on a gray-white color. The filaments are mainly denser in the apical part, creating some sort of a "hat" to protect the plant from the sun's rays. On the stem there are large and oval areoles of a white-gray color, from which the long spines of a yellow-brown color emerge.

Plant care:

It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight.

It is better to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 4 °C, for this reason it is recommended to place it in sheltered and ventilated places during the winter.

Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once a week in spring and summer, once a month in autumn 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 or lapilli.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
