Eriosyce curvispina ssp. marksiana 973A

Eriosyce curvispina ssp. marksiana is a small, globular cactus known for its distinctive appearance and robust nature. It has a dark green to brownish-green body with pronounced ribs and areoles from which dense clusters of curved, reddish-brown spines emerge. In spring or early summer, it produces large, bright yellow, funnel-shaped flowers. Native to Chile, this subspecies thrives in arid environments, preferring well-draining, sandy or rocky soils and full sunlight. It is highly drought-tolerant and well-suited to dry, desert-like conditions.
