Pincushion cactus, also known as Fishhook cactus, Nipple cactus, Pink crown, Rose pincushion, Powder puff cactus
Pincushion cactus thrives in a dry, well-draining environment, reflecting its native desert habitat. Special care should be given to its watering needs—allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Avoid high humidity environments and provide plenty of light, favoring strong, indirect sunlight. Pincushion cactus requires minimal additional care, making its maintenance straightforward for both novice and experienced gardeners.
