Description:

Notocactus scopa ‘Silver Ball Cactus’ features rounded, deep green stems covered in a regular pattern of bright white areoles from which a starburst of short white spines emerges, accented by a single rusty brown spine in the center of each cluster. At the apex of the stem, the areoles and spines form a mass of color and texture, making this variety visually appealing from any angle.

It has extremely attractive, supple, fir-like, silvery-white spines that are frequently scarlet in the centers. The beautiful lemon-yellow flowers open throughout the day and close at night. They have light anthers and a crimson stigma.
