Distinct species, unique bristle-covered stems that are short erect or ascending, subglobose when young, becoming narrowly ovate or cylindric. The flowers can be cup-like tubes mostly facing upwards with a color of dark red mostly and dark hairs. Filtered sunlight is best for these plants. Rest them in winter with less watering. Regularly watering in their growing season is required. Pot in cactus mixed with extra perlite or pumice. A gritty, very free-draining compost is suitable, and clay pots help the plants to dry out between watering. Re-pot every 2 years.
