The stems are thickly covered with rows of small tubercles, usually spirally arranged. Small, tufted areoles bear numerous white spines; the areoles at the apexes elongate slightly when producing the small, funnel-shaped, white or pale orange to pink flowers. In frost-prone areas, grow in a warm greenhouse; in warm, dry climates, grow in a desert garden or on a raised bed.
