Description: Segmented succulent slowly growing up to up to 30 cm
Segment: Small pine-cone shaped that are loosely
attached to each other and fall easily.
Flowers: White, 5cm
long.
Fruit: Brown.
The white flowers made a nice contrast to the earth-tone
colours of the plant.
Cultivation: It is easy to grow but
usually couldn’t get very tall as segment kept falling apart. It is
fairly cold resistant and hardy to -9°C depending on the clone, Need
full sun, (with insufficient illumination stems get thinner
as a result of the lack of sun) The main growing period is spring. It
might produce some new segments in the autumn too. Needs good drainage.
Propagation is through segment cuttings, or occasionally seeds The
little glochids at the areoles are quite a nuisance, and it is best to
use gloves to handle this plant. |
