This beautiful columnar cactus has very fine, closely spaced needles. It can reach up to 1.5m in height. Summer and winter, it is recommended to give it warmth and light. To admire its beautiful yellow flowers, you need a lot of patience. Indeed, in addition to being ephemeral, its flowering only occurs after about ten years and lasts between 2 or 3 days. Do not hesitate to clean the accumulation of dust with a soft, damp brush.
Warning! Risk of toxicity if ingested.
