Most of them have a solitary stem, and diverge to multiple stems from the base when ageing. Central spine brown and 0.5cm long; 18~20 white radial spines about 0.2~0.3cm long. Pink flowers are arranged annularly on the tip of the stem, like a garland. Flowering in spring.

栽培 Cultivation

全日照通風環境下可生長良好,日照充足時可促進開花,炎夏時切勿讓植株曝曬,以免產生日燒等曬傷跡象。為防止爛根等情形,種植時需採用排水透氣的介質。內裏玉相較於其他仙人掌而言,莖柔軟較無支撐力,生長到一定高度時便開始倒伏。繁殖使用播種法。

The plant enjoys full-sun and ventilated environments. Sufficient sun exposure can promote flowering but direct exposure in hot summer will cause marks of sunburn. Planted in well-drained and breathable medium soil to prevent roots from rotting. Compared with other cacti, the plant is softer and tends to recline when elongating. Propagated by seeding.
