Echinocactus grusonii albispinus

Grown from seed. Normally spines are yellow, this cultivar has white spines, so rare.

It is a summer-growing species that offers no cultivation difficulties. It needs good drainage and very porous substrate. Water regularly in summer (but do not over-water ). Wait for the well draining soil mixture to be rather dry before watering again. If it loses its roots, let the stem dry for a few days before replanting.
