A perennial plant, also known as the "prickly pear of the plains". It has low-growing green or blue-green stems, which are covered with small, downy light brown areoles and yellow or reddish spines. Its numerous and long spines are iridescent in color (from yellow to dark brown, from pink-gray to gray-brown, from white to white-gray). In spring and summer it blooms with small yellow, magenta and orange flowers. It produces red-brown cylindrical fruits at the end of the stem, that ripen about two months after the flowering.

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 3 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately and only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce it to once every two months in autumn and to suspend it 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.
