Descrizione del prodotto

The Melocactus amoenus is a captivating cactus with a rounded, deep green body lined with pronounced ribs and sharp, golden to reddish spines. As it matures, it develops a signature cephalium, a dense, woolly cap in shades of red or pink, from which delicate pink to magenta flowers emerge, followed by small, bright red fruits. Native to arid regions, this distinctive cactus thrives in rocky soils and adds a striking sculptural element to collections. Its cephalium is a unique feature, signifying maturity and readiness for flowering.
