It has spherical to short-cylindrical stems, which often offset to form small clusters, with spirally arranged, warty ribs and prominently spined areoles. Solitary, funnel-shaped yellow flowers are produced in summer, followed by orange-yellow or dull red fruit. In areas where temperatures drop below 15°C (59°F), grow in a warm greenhouse; in warm, dry climates, grow in a border with other cacti, or in a raised bed or desert garden.
