Rare scale : 8/10

Plant Care :

Sunlight: This cactus thrives in full sun, needing 6-8 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth. Ensure it's placed in a sunny and sheltered spot if growing outdoors, protecting it from frost. If grown indoors, provide adequate ventilation. 

Watering: Water infrequently, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during winter months as the plant enters dormancy. 

Soil: Use a well-draining cactus mix or sandy loam for optimal growth. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogged roots. 

Temperature: This cactus prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 20°C and 30°C (68°F to 86°F). Keep it dry in winter or when night temperatures fall below 10°C (50°F). It can tolerate temperatures as low as -4°C for short periods. 

Key Characteristics :

Origin and Habitat: Native to northeastern Mexico, specifically found in dry areas between larger stones.

Flowers: Produces funnel-shaped, creamy white flowers with pinkish mid-stripes that appear in January-April. These flowers grow from the top of the cactus and are known for their easy blooming habit.

Cultivation: This species is considered relatively easy to cultivate, but require well-drained soil and careful watering due to its tap root. Overwatering can lead to rot.
