Description:

In nature it grows in the vicinity of Tula: a small town in the state of Tamaulipas in Mexico, and from this fact derives its name. It is a generally solitary cactus with a bluish-green globular stem that can elongate and reach 25 cm in height. From the pronounced tubercles come out the spines: the radial ones are short and gray, while the central ones are longer and can take a reddish color at the apex of the stem. At the beginning of the summer its beautiful flowers bloom with a color that varies from white to pink with a darker central stripe.

Plant care:

It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 4 °C, for this reason it is recommended to place it in sheltered and ventilated locations during the winter period.

Water moderately, only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once a week in spring and summer, once a month in autumn and to suspend watering completely in winter.

The best option is a soil suitable for cacti, even better if further mixed with pumice or lapilli.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
