Product Description

Pyrrhocactus curvispinus is an intriguing cactus known for its globular to short cylindrical shape and distinctive curved spines. The stem is typically dark green, covered with pronounced tubercles that give it a textured appearance. The spines, which can be curved or hooked, range in color from yellow to brown and provide a striking contrast to the stem. In spring, this cactus produces bright yellow to orange flowers that bloom at the top of the plant, adding a splash of color to its rugged form. Pyrrhocactus curvispinus is ideal for rock gardens, containers, and desert-themed landscapes due to its unique look and low maintenance.
