A large, robust barrel-shaped cactus with a blue-green to grey-green body, broad rounded ribs, and strong, spreading spines. It produces beautiful pale pink to creamy-white flowers and can develop into an impressive specimen with age.
Water once every 5-6 days in summer. Water once in 3-4 weeks in winter, because its the period of dormancy. Provide ample daylight - a few hours of direct sunlight is required daily for all cacti. Use a well draining succulent potting mix, preferably Cinder.
