Description:
The name of this beautiful plant comes from the Greek 'γεωμετρία' which means 'geometry', in fact its green-bluish colored stem has a ball shape and over time creates spherical branches. In the monstrous form has some anomalies such as asymmetries or lack of thorns that make the specimen unique and highly sought after by collectors. With prolonged exposure to the sun or fresh autumn can assume a purple color. From the upper areolas are born sparse and short thorns of color ranging from white to black, curved down. Its flowers bloom at the apex of the stem and have colors ranging from ianc to pink with a darker central line.

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.
