English
It is a globular cactus with a solitary habit, which tends to cluster over time.
Its stem, of an opaque light green color, has multiple well furrowed ribs, equipped with sparse whitish slightly downy areoles.
The spines are short, stiff, straight, of a greyish color. The flowering period is in spring-summer, when, on long stems, generated by the areoles, its huge flowers of a more or less intense pink color bloom.
Care
- It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.
- It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 10 °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 the plant once a week in spring and summer and suspend watering completely in winter.
- The best option is a substrate suitable for cactaceae, as long as it is well draining.
- They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
