The variegated form of this plant is highly sought after by green collectors, due to the characteristic yellow "spots" in the points, where chlorophyll is absent, which make this cactacea extremely particular and unique, you will never find two identical plants! It is a cactus, that generally grows solitary, is of a globular shape and flattened on the apical part. On the stem, there are elongated whitish areoles, from which spines, arranged in a comb shape, come out, which are of a yellow-brown color. Flowering occurs in spring and continues up till summer, blooming with bell-shaped red-orange 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 8 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.

Water moderately, 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 to 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.
