Product Description

Pyrrocactus affinis to specie of Vilos Illapel, Chile, is a small, globular cactus native to the arid regions of Chile, particularly around Vilos and Illapel. It typically forms clusters of up to three heads, each covered with dense, woolly areoles and spines. The stems are green to bluish-green, and the spines vary in color from yellow to brown. It produces bright yellow to orange flowers, which bloom near the apex. This species thrives in well-draining, sandy soils and requires full sun. It is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during the growing season.
