Colour Note: The red finish is a decorative colour treatment and is not the cactus’s natural colour. The coating may gradually fade, and new growth may appear in its natural green colour.
Safety Note: The cactus has sharp spines. Handle it carefully, preferably with protective gloves, and keep it away from children and pets.
Note: Each living cactus varies naturally in height, shape, number of stems, spine arrangement, and colour coverage. The stated 12 cm measurement refers to the diameter of the nursery pot, not the plant’s total height. Decorative outer pot is not included.
