Description: This small
form of
E. grusonii is covered by white
wool with short yellow
spines. Freely
offsetting.
Cultivation:
Frost tender
but
cold hardiness increases with improved
drainage, so keep plants as dry as possible in
winter.
Provide the plant with extremely
well-drained soils, as plants
are subject to
crown and
soft rot
if they remain too moist. They grow best in
full sun
or half shade, which will help to
maintain the lustre of the spines and plants compact. They are
prone to
mealy bug and
red spider mite.
Propagation: From
cuttings
(but it is
difficult to grow this plant on its
own roots)
or preferably by
grafting. |
