This plant is a columnar cactus that forms huge tangled mounds of fairly rapid growth hanging or creeping, green shoots, up to 90 centimetres (35 in) high with stems 2 to 2.5 centimetres (3⁄4 to 1 in) in diameter and 16 to 17 ribs, with 50 spines 0.4 to 1 centimetre (1⁄8 to 3⁄8 in) long. The brown areoles on it are close together. It has many short bristly golden spines that are flexible, thin and straight and literally cover the surface of the stems.
 
Price is only for the plant. Pot charges are extra.
