Product Description

The seeds of Notocactus rutilans are small, dark brown to black, with a slightly rough and matte surface. Their compact, rounded shape helps retain moisture, ensuring better germination in arid conditions. These seeds develop into a beautiful, globular cactus with well-defined ribs and dense, golden to reddish spines. As it matures, the plant produces striking bright pink to red flowers, creating a vivid contrast against its spiny, deep green body. A must-have for collectors, this slow-growing species thrives in well-drained environments.
