Its name N. ottonis honors the German botanist Christoph Friedrich Otto.

This is a dwarf cactus, that can be both solitary and grouped. Its stem has a more or less spherical shape, with a slight cavity at the apex.

The epidermis takes on different shades of intense green, which tends to become purplish during the winter rest.

The brown spines are sparse, thin and long. It is a plant easy to grow, that blooms in summer with beautiful yellow blooms. N. ottonis is perfect for decorating any windowsill.

Care

• It likes very bright locations, but it can also stand direct sunlight in 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.
