Comments:
Plants are first solitary and later branch and eventually spread into relatively large clumps over time. White, stiff spines are slightly curved downward and have dark tips. This cactus needs bright sunlight to keep the units growing together in a tight unit, otherwise units will elongate and stay separated.
