With its fanning shape and tiny little leaves that grow from areas of new growth, it's easy to handle and maintain, despite its small spines. This cactus is a true work of art, with small yellow/white blooms that appear throughout early spring, adding an extra touch of elegance.
Cactus Vision suggests this cactus as a perfect addition to any stylish home, it can be used in balcony pot clusters or as a lush statement in indoor spaces that receive a lot of direct sunlight. It's important to note that this plant prefers warmer temperatures, it should be protected from frost as it does not like temperatures colder than 10 degrees.
