Flowers: pure white or with a pale shade of lavender in early spring

Cultivation and propagation: It is a summer grower species that is easy to cultivate. It is one of the most cold-tolerant South American species. It can grow outdoors and is hardy to -15° C or even less.

Growth rate: It is a relatively rapidly growing and easily flowering species that will make clumps given the best conditions.

Watering: Needs moderate to copious waterings in summer, but do not overwater, keep dry in winter.

Hardiness: Reputedly very resistant to frost if kept on the dry side prior to, and during, cold weather (hardy to -15° C, or less for short periods).

Exposition: The plant tolerates extremely bright situations but enjoys filtered sunlight or afternoon shade, inside it needs bright light, and some direct sun. Tends to bronze in strong light, which encourages flowering and heavy spine production.
