Product Description

Eriosyce curvispina (syn. Pyrrhocactus curvispinus) is a striking cactus native to the central regions of Chile. This species is characterized by its globular to short-cylindrical body and prominent curved spines that give it a distinctive appearance. The stem is dark green, often with a bluish tinge, and has well-defined ribs adorned with clusters of tubercles. The spines vary in color from white to reddish-brown, creating a visually appealing contrast. In the blooming season, it produces bright red to pink flowers that add vibrant color to its rugged form. This cactus is well-adapted to arid environments and thrives in well-drained soils.
