Browningia hertlingiana (F. Buxbaum 1965) It can reach several meters in height and features clearly defined ribs. It stands out for its characteristic light green color and its fine but numerous spines on each areole. It shows a marked difference between the juvenile and adult phases. Although it originates from arid regions, in cultivation it tolerates prolonged lack of watering poorly. It requires well-drained soil and some protection from extreme summer sun exposure to avoid stress and dehydration.
