Acanthocalycium violaceum is an adorable variety of Acanthocalycium spiniflorum, and a member of the Acanthocalycium genus. This remarkable cactus is beautiful and unique and makes for a great addition to any home. Native to South America, this cactus is characterized by its spherical to elongated shape, pale-lilac-colored blooms, and dense golden or honey-colored spines. It's like a little garden masterpiece! 

Even though it doesn't offset frequently, it can get as big as 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide. If you're thinking about adding something unique like Spiny Lilac Flower cactus to your collection, there are a few things you should keep in mind in terms of care.  

First and foremost, this adorable cactus does best in bright light but can tolerate some shade. It's important to let the soil dry out completely between watering sessions, as too much moisture can lead to root rot. When it comes to fertilizing, once a year during the growing season should suffice. Lastly, be sure to wear gloves when handling this cactus as its spines can be quite sharp! 

So, whether you're an experienced green thumb or new to gardening altogether, the Acanthocalycium violaceum is sure to be a stunning addition to your home or garden!
