Look like a cotton ball but deadly, sharp hook spines, round shape ball. The flowers can be orange-red, but also yellow or near white to pink in colour. The plants need a bright exposure, part shade in summer. The plant should be watered regularly in Summer allowing too dry before watering again. Kept the plant drier in Winter. They grow best in well-drained soil also to keep the roots cool in summer.
