Description:
Eriosyce senilis is a cactus native to Chile, known for its thin twisted white spines and purple-pink flowers with a clearer throat. It thrives in rocky soils and requires good drainage and porous potting soil. This summer-growing species needs full sun to bright shade and is frost-tolerant down to 24°F. Its populations are threatened by habitat loss and illegal collection.
