Product Description

Coryphantha ottonis stands out as a striking tuberculate cactus native to Mexico and the Southwestern U.S. This barrel cactus species captivates with its rounded, robust form. People call it the Mexican pincushion cactus due to its dense spines emerging from distinct tubercles. The vibrant green stem contrasts beautifully with sharp, white and yellow spines, making it an eye-catching addition to any desert garden.

The Coryphantha ottonis cactus develops bright yellow flowers that bloom in spring, adding a splash of color to its spiny silhouette. Experts refer to it as Otton's Coryphantha for its unique botanical characteristics. This cactus thrives in arid conditions but offers stunning ornamental value wherever it grows. Its symmetrical rib structure and tuberculate surface create an interesting texture that cactus enthusiasts appreciate.
