🌸 Description

This cactus grows into a small round or slightly cylindrical stem, measuring about 3–5 cm tall. The body is light green to bluish-green with conical tubercles (areoles) covered in fine white to silver spines.

🌤 Care Instructions

☀️ Light:
Place it in a bright, sunny location. Full sunlight helps maintain its shape and color.

💧 Water:
Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Water lightly — especially in summer — and reduce in winter.

🌡 Temperature:
Best grown between 18°C–30°C (64°F–86°F). Avoid frost.

🌱 Soil:
Use well-draining cactus mix with sand or perlite to prevent root rot.

🪴 Repotting:
Repot every 2–3 years using fresh soil. Be gentle, as roots are delicate.
