Matucana madisoniorum Rare Cactus Desk Plant.

Matucana madisoniorum alternately called Submatucana madisoniorum or Borzicactus madisoniorum, is an attractive small globular plant with ribs resembling Lophophora, the ones that lack spines look so much like peyote that the uninformed may think they actually are.

Habit: Normally solitary globose cactus that may clump with age.
Stem: Flat globular to elongate with age up to 15 cm tall and 10 cm in diameter. One of most endearing feature of this plant is its unusual rough textured blue or grey-green epidermis.

Spines: Sometimes individual plants may be almost entirely spineless, while other specimens are covered with spines or have spines missing on parts of the plant. Seedlings of this species are all densely covered with long, curving spines; however, seedlings from plants growing at lower altitudes will ordinarily lose their spines at maturity, while those from higher altitudes keep theirs, but it is very variable in this respect, and spineless plants can grow spiny offsets, or get just an occasional spine.

Flowers: Forming at the apex from new areoles, zygomorphic tending to lean on one side, bright orange-red with an almost fluorescent sheen making them quite attractive, 3,5 cm in diameter, and slightly longer 5-7 (10) cm long. The buds start as little white/grey furry balls.
Blooming time: Flowers more than once in several flushes throughout the summer and can flower just about all year round give the right conditions.

Size of the plant: 3 inches, blooming size.

FERTILIZER: Enrich the soil using a fertilizer rich in potassium and phosphorous.( bonemeal powder/BASACOTE FERTILIZER)WATERING: Indoor plants will need even less water than an outdoor plant because they are exposed to less sunshine.
