The epidermis is harder than in
the normal Notocactus and cracks easily but this is not a defect
and the plant will not suffer for this.
Cultivation:
It is easy to grow. They like a warm bright location, does great in
partial shade avoid full sun. They need good drainage and prefer a
neutral to slightly acidic compost with plenty of extra grit. Water
during the summer. Best if watered with rain water. Keep above 0°C and
rather dry in winter, rot easily if the substrate is wet and cold, tends
to lose its roots in winter.
Propagation: Grafting or
cutting
