Product Description

Submatucana aurantiaca is a rare and captivating cactus species native to the mountainous regions of Peru. This compact, globular cactus is recognized for its dark green body with well-defined ribs, often adorned with small clusters of short spines. The standout feature of this species is its vivid orange-red flowers that bloom in spring and summer, making a striking contrast against the green stem. These funnel-shaped flowers are quite large relative to the size of the cactus, adding to its visual appeal. As a small, slow-growing cactus, it’s ideal for collectors who appreciate unique flowering plants.
