Product Description

Pyrrhocactus sp. AW282, found in the region between Huasco and Caleta Sarco in Chile, is a small, globular cactus that typically grows solitary. The stems are dark green to bluish-green, featuring prominent ribs and tubercles. The spines are straight, stiff, and vary in color from yellowish to dark brown. The cactus produces small, 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.
