Pterocactus kuntzei

Caudiciform cactus from Argentina with pendulous branches from a large gnarly tuber. Name now includes P.tuberosus & P.decipiens. Water in spring to get silky yellow flowers. Very coldhardy but keep dry in winter.

5.Indoors OK, Outdoors not OK.

A great performer.

Golden flowers.

This kuntzei seedpod was practising for auditions at the Muppet Show...

...until it lost its head in the excitement.

Older caudex throws young clean branches after a haircut.
