Product Description

Eriosyce bulbocalyx var. marayensis is a small, globular cactus native to the arid regions of northern Chile. This cactus typically grows solitary, with a bulbous base and a dark green to brownish stem that is covered with prominent ribs and tubercles. The spines are straight, stiff, and vary in color from yellow to dark brown. It produces funnel-shaped flowers that are bright pink to magenta, emerging from the apex. Eriosyce bulbocalyx var. marayensis thrives in well-draining, sandy to rocky soils and requires full sun. It is highly drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during the growing season.
