Description:

It is an olive-green cactaceae with a solitary or grouped stem, with a concavity in its apex. Its rounded areoles hold erect, bristly spines of a white color, from where the term ‘senilis’ ("old") drives. The number of spines and their size are influenced by the cultivation and the light conditions (with poor light it will produce fewer and thinner spines, while with strong light it will produce stronger numerous spines). Flowering occurs during spring, with trumpet-shaped, red, orange or crimson flowers.

Plant care:

It requires a lot of light during all seasons, however avoid direct sun rays during the hottest hours of the day, as they could cause burns.

It prefers rather mild temperatures, yet it is very resistant. However, it is preferable to keep it at temperatures above 0 °C.

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.

A soil suitable for cacti is an optimal solution, even better if it is further mixed with 50% of pumice or lapilli.

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