Description:

The crested shape of this cactus has a very particular fan crest as it will never be found identical in two or more different plants; making each one unique and for this reason highly sought after by collectors around the world. In its normal form, it is a cactus with a tuberculate globose stem and with large fluffy white areolas. The name comes from the Greek and means "ash", in reference to its usual color tending to greyish, but probably also for the spontaneous growth of several species on the ashes of volcanoes. During the flowering period, in spring, its beautiful flowers bloom in colors ranging from white to yellowish.

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 5 °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 option is a well-draining and porous soil, even better if further enriched with 50% of 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.
