Description:

It is a cactaceae with a solitary habit. Its dark green stem, initially globular, similar to a barrel, becomes columnar with age. It has deep tuberculate ribs, on which white downy areoles can be seen. From these areoles spines emerge: radial red-brownish spines, while the central ones are lighter, longer, of a hooked shape. From late summer to autumn, it blooms with beautiful yellow funnel-shaped 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.
