Uebelmannia Pectinifera Cactus

Uebelmannia Pectinifera Live Cactus

Uebelmannia pectinifera is a highly sought-after Brazilian cactus, admired by collectors for its rare beauty and distinctive features. This slow-growing species develops a rounded body with deep vertical ribs, covered in neatly aligned golden-brown spines that create a striking contrast against its dark purple to gray-green skin. Over time, mature plants may reward growers with delicate yellow flowers, adding even more appeal to this unique cactus.

Uebelmannia pectinifera thrives in full sun and mineral-rich, well-draining soil. Its rarity and sculptural appearance make it an ideal centerpiece for any cactus collection or rare plant display.
