📝 Description
Melocactus matanzanus, also known as the Turk’s Cap Cactus, is a striking and unusual plant with a distinct personality. Its rounded green body is ribbed with short spines, but what makes it truly stand out is the bright red cap, called a cephalium, that forms as the plant matures. This cap continues to grow and produces delicate pink flowers and small red fruits, giving the cactus a unique character that few other houseplants can match.
Native to Cuba, this slow-growing cactus thrives in bright light and prefers a free-draining soil mix. It’s a plant that rewards patience—once the cephalium appears, the cactus has reached maturity, and the display only becomes more eye-catching with time. Perfect for collectors or anyone looking for a conversation starter, the Melocactus matanzanus adds a bold and exotic touch to any indoor plant collection.
