The cactus loves sunny spots and develops well in hot light.

Grows slowly, forming round balls with strong, prominent spines, which makes it decorative even without flowers.
Flowers rarely, but the flowers are usually bright yellow or reddish.
🐾 Pet-unfriendly
Not toxic, but care should be taken due to sharp spines to prevent injury to pets or children.
