Its sculptural form and ease of care make it a standout choice for collectors of unusual and eye-catching succulents.

• Intriguing Texture: Stems are covered in small, pointed tubercles, adding a touch of visual interest and a unique tactile experience.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers full sun to light shade. It thrives in full sun but can tolerate moderate shade.

• Water: Water regularly during the active growing season (spring and summer), allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during the winter months.

• Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix.
