Neochilenia castanea

Neochilenia castanea is a striking cactus with a globular shape, growing up to 8 cm tall and 10 cm in diameter. Its dark brown spines contrast beautifully against the green body, forming dense, attractive clusters. The tubercles are small, and the plant may produce delicate, funnel-shaped yellow flowers in spring. Over time, it forms small clumps, enhancing its visual appeal in any collection. This unique species, with its compact size and intricate spine pattern, adds a touch of the exotic to both indoor and outdoor cactus gardens.
