With its sharp, powerful spines and massive body, this is a reliable variety that is perfect for those who want to grow a cactus that truly resembles a cactus.

■Location for care <br>Keep in a sunny place throughout the year. It is particularly tolerant of direct sunlight in midsummer and prefers sunlight. However, it should be kept in a well-ventilated place and care should be taken to avoid it becoming humid. In winter, keep in a sunny windowsill or greenhouse so that the temperature does not drop below 5°C.

■Temperature control In winter, be careful not to allow the temperature to drop below 0°C and do not expose the plant to frost. If the temperature drops below 5°C, keep the plant in a sunny location, a simple greenhouse, or indoors. The greater the temperature difference between day and night, the better the thorns tend to grow.

■Watering <br>Watering should be adjusted according to the growing conditions. During the growing season from spring to autumn, water generously so that the soil flows out from the bottom of the pot when the soil dries, but in summer and winter, water sparingly, about once a month, keeping the soil on the drier side.

■Soil and fertilizer <br>Please use potting soil for succulents and cacti that has good breathability and drainage.
Fertilize the plant during the growing season from spring to autumn. Specifically, it is common to give it diluted liquid fertilizer once or twice a month while watering it. When repotting, it is a good idea to mix slow-release solid fertilizer into the soil as base fertilizer. No fertilizer is necessary in winter, as the plant goes into a dormant period.
