An outstanding oddity and conversation piece. This species of cactus formerly known as C. peruvianus has forest green tall, non-branching stems that proliferate with many offsets from the base. The effect is like a castle with many ‘spires’. The tan spines are small but do not readily come off. Keeps its proliferating habit throughout its life, getting fuller with each step up in container size. A great starter plant, low maintenance but very rewarding.

C.I.T.E.S. - No export, sorry.

Outstanding plants now considered a form of obesum. Thicker and squatter than most other forms, these beauties form an extra thick caudex with multiple fat branches. The flowers are pink with stripes in the throat.
