Xiquexique gounellei
Xiquexique gounellei is a frost-hardy cactus native to Brazil, known for its columnar growth habit. It requires a rich, well-draining substratum and full sun exposure. This cactus is sensitive to rot in humid and low-temperature conditions, needing regular watering in summer and dry conditions in winter. It can withstand short periods of temperatures as low as 30°F if kept very dry.
