Product Description

Pyrrhocactus confinis, also known as Eriosyce confinis, is a small, globular to slightly cylindrical cactus native to the Baranquilla region in Chile. This cactus typically grows solitary, featuring a dark green to bluish-green stem with pronounced ribs and tubercles. The spines are straight and stiff, varying in color from yellow to dark brown. Pyrrhocactus confinis produces funnel-shaped flowers that are bright yellow, emerging from the apex. This species thrives in well-draining, sandy to rocky soils and requires full sun. It is highly drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during the growing season.
