Product Description

Thelocactus hexaedrophorus var. droegeanus spiny form is a striking variety of this globular cactus species native to northeastern Mexico. This cactus typically grows to about 7-10 cm in diameter, with a squat, rounded shape. It features thick, wavy ribs and prominent areoles that bear clusters of long, stout spines, which are typically white to gray. This variety is known for its particularly spiny appearance compared to other forms. It produces large, showy flowers in shades of white, pink, or magenta, emerging from the top. Thelocactus hexaedrophorus var. droegeanus thrives in well-draining, rocky or sandy soils and prefers full sun to partial shade.
