This curious and characterful cactus is a true collector’s gem, admired for its unusual, crested form. Instead of growing upright like most cacti, it develops a twisted, compact mass of ridged green stems that curl and fold into themselves, creating an eye-catching, almost coral-like structure.

Reaching around 15 cm in height and width, it’s perfect for pots, shelves, or small sunny corners where its sculptural form can be admired up close. It thrives in full sun to bright indirect light and prefers a gritty, well-drained soil mix. Like most cacti, it’s extremely low-maintenance and drought tolerant—ideal for those who love unique plants but don’t want the fuss.

Flowering is rare, and not the main attraction here—this is a plant grown for its form and texture. Its irregular shape gives it a playful yet architectural presence, adding a contemporary edge to cactus collections or minimalist plant arrangements.

A wonderful conversation starter and a living sculpture, this compact wonder offers lasting beauty with hardly any care required.
