Product Description

The Melocactus broadwayi is a striking, globe-shaped cactus with deep green, ribbed stems adorned with sharp, golden spines. As it matures, it develops a distinctive cephalium, a woolly, red or orange structure at the top that produces small, vibrant pink flowers followed by elongated red fruits. Native to the Caribbean, this unique cactus thrives in rocky, arid environments. Its compact size and sculptural form make it a collector’s favorite, adding a dramatic desert aesthetic to any setting.
