A petite and highly distinctive cactus from Bolivia, forming compact, rounded heads densely covered with short, overlapping white spines that give the plant a silvery, almost woven appearance. In spring, it produces brilliant orange flowers that create a striking contrast against its pale, intricately textured body.
Keep in a place receiving plenty of daylight. Water sparsely - once in 5-6 days in summer, reduce watering significantly in winter. Never water when the soil is moist. Use a well draining succulent potting mix, preferably Cinder.
