Product Description

The Melocactus glaucescens with its rare white cephalium is a striking and highly coveted globular cactus. Native to Brazil, this species is known for its blue-green body, covered in prominent ribs adorned with clusters of short, sharp spines. As it matures, it develops a distinct cephalium, a woolly, cylindrical structure, usually white in this variant, from which tiny pink flowers emerge. The contrast between the glaucous body and the white cephalium gives it a unique appearance, making the Melocactus glaucescens a must-have for any collector of rare cacti.
