Description:

It's a columnar and cylindrical cactaceae, surrounded by long and hairy filaments, which are yellowish that turn gray-white over time. The filaments are mainly denser in the apical part, creating some sort of a "hat", their function is to protect the stem from the sun. On the stem there are large and oval areoles of a white-gray color, with long spines of a yellow-brown color. The daytime flowering occurs in spring, when you can admire beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers of a pale pink color with purple shades. However, only adult plants bloom.

Plant care:

It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight.

It is better to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 4 °C, for this reason it is recommended to place it in sheltered and ventilated places during the winter.

Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once a week in spring and summer, once a month in autumn 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 or lapilli.

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