Product Description

Pyrrhocactus totoralensis is a small, globular to cylindrical cactus native to the arid regions of Chile. This cactus typically grows solitary, with a dark green to bluish-green stem covered with prominent ribs and tubercles. The spines are straight, stiff, and range in color from yellow to dark brown. It produces funnel-shaped flowers that are bright yellow, emerging from the apex. Pyrrhocactus totoralensis thrives in well-draining, sandy to rocky soils and requires full sun. It is highly drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during the growing season.
