Description:

It is a globose cactus of a typical purple color (which gets intensified with exposure to the sun), consisting of ribs similar to protruding tubercles, each having whitish areoles and dark spines, almost black, thin and rather long, which increase even more in length at the apex, pointing upwards in a slightly curved way. In late spring, the plant blooms with funnel-shaped flowers, typical of this family, varying in shades from pink to fuchsia. This variety takes the name of 'pulchella' (literally means "pretty"), because it is smaller, than other cactus similar to it, making it almost a miniature, highly appreciated by green collectors.

Plant care:

It likes very bright places, however, avoid direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day.

It prefers rather mild temperatures, however it still survives even at temperatures close to freezing if the soil is dry.

Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once a week in spring and summer, and suspend watering completely in winter.

The best soil is a well-draining one, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice, sand or lapilli.

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