Fan Spine Cactus

Succulent type: Stem succulent (Stores water in its stem)

This short cactus grows up to 3 feet (91.4 cm) tall. It splits randomly along the body to form 6 fan-like stems. Each stem is gray-green, and is covered in brittle yellow spines. The spherical body is florescent green and yellow-green, and is covered in brittle yellow spines.

It is fast growing, taking 3 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with solid olive petals decorated with blue lines and a olive central disk grows at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is largely flat with dozens of tightly layered round-tipped petals. It has an overpowering scent that smells like pineapple.

The cactus's skin is extremely thick, the grey flesh is soft, and the aquamarine sap is thin.


It is possible to grow it from cuttings.
It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
