Neoporteria multicolor
Endemic to Chile, these plants live among small valleys and traverse to the sea. The species is frequent but not abundant in sclerophyllous forest and thorny scrub on rocky soils, the populations are severely fragmented, and illegal collection is causing a continual decline in the number of mature individuals. Furthermore, land conversion for agriculture and urbanization is degrading the habitat surrounding the species.
It is a summer-growing species. Water regularly in summer, but do not over-water (rot prone). It needs good drainage and very a porous potting soil Keep dry in winter. Feed with a high potassium fertilizer in summer.
Need Full sun to bright shade. Frost Tolerance: -4°C.

United StatesI never have any complaints when I order plants from you. They are sent in such extremely well packaging not even a stone is out of place. You are to be commended on your excellent service as well as handling of your plants. My cactus slipped out of my hand and down it went on the floor!!!! I managed to get it all back in the pot and take all the dirt, etc. out of the spines. I am hoping and praying it will make it. I love it!! Thank you. I have ordered so many I wish I had room for more!!. Since I had a disaster I really don't want you to publish my review but it was everything I had hoped for.
