Pyrrhocactus floccosus
syn: Eriosyce taltalensis var. floccosa
Description
Pyrrhocactus floccosus is a barrel-shaped cactus characterized by its dense, woolly areoles. The cactus has a spherical or cylindrical body. It is covered in ribs and spines. The woolly areoles are a key feature, giving it a fuzzy appearance. Pyrrhocactus floccosus produces yellow flowers. It thrives in well-draining soil and full sun exposure. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Propagation is usually done through seeds. Be careful not to overwater, and give ample air.
