Description:

Formerly known as “Ferocactus Fordii”. It is a small cactus with a solitary habit. Its gray-green stem has deep and well-marked ribs, on which, from spaced apart, downy areoles, spines emerge: whitish, long and thin radial spines, and central ones, that can vary in color, ranging from gray to reddish brown. In summer, it blooms with beautiful purple-pink flowers, that form some sort of a ring at the apex of the plant.

Plant care:

It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sun rays, especially during the hottest hours of the day, as long as they might burn the leaves.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 6 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.

Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce watering to once every two months in autumn, and to suspend it completely in winter.

The best one is a very well-draining soil specific for cacti.

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