Photo of conspecific taxa, varieties, forms and cultivars of plants belonging to the Echinofossulocatus multicostatus complex This Taxon has lots of synonyms like most Echinofossulocactus whit several controversial varieties and subspecies :.
Cultivation: Small growing and easy to to care and flower. It needs regular cacti soil with good drainage. Propagation: Seeds usually or by the shoots of adult plants if available. Exposure: need some direct sun but is tolerant and prefers light shade during the hot Summer months, allow to dry between watering. Watering should be curtailed during the winter months. Propa gation : By seeds , remembering that seedlings dislike strong light and dry conditions and need to be repotted frequently.
Eventually, as they become mature, they attain a maximum size of cm 20 cm. However, old plants become senile and have a tendency to succumb to disease and a weak root system. During the winter rest period, nearly cease watering. Only water if the plant begins to shrivel. The most common mistake with desert cacti is overwatering in the winter, which will cause rot either at the base of the plant or the tips of the growing areas.
Light : Strong light is essential for healthy desert cacti, especially in the winter. In their desert habitats, many cacti are accustomed to very chilly nights. You must protect them from very cold winter drafts. Toxicity: S tenocactus multicostatus are not known to be toxic to humans or pets. Thank You for visiting our shop.

Stenocactus multicostatus , the brain cactus , is a member of the cactus family native to the deserts of Mexico, and is popular in the gardening community. It grows up to 2. It has nearly thin ribs around the outside, each with six to nine spines. The upper spines are wider, at 1. The flower is white to purple, 0. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Habitat: This species is native to high, dry, grassy meadowlands, during times of drought it often hides in the rocky soil. Description: Stenocactus multicostatus more often known as Echinofossulocactus multicostatus is a low-growing cactus with a lot of narrow, very acute and straight or wavy ribs, densely pleated together giving a wrinkled look to its near globular shape, with short 6 to 18 soft flattened brownish spines, arranged crosswise, but there is a great variation among plants of different origin both in spination, body shape and number of ribs.
Since the various forms are connected by intermediates it is extremely difficult to recognize infraspecific taxa. Habit: It is simple, but sometimes forms two or more stems. Stem: cm wide and up to cm tall, depressed spherical, spherical to short-cylindrical usually many-ribbed, grey-green to deep green with a flat tops. Ribs: Many as the name implies, typically 50 to but occasionally up to or more very tight, thin, acute, wavy, very broad at the areoles. Areoles: There are only 2 or 3 -4 areoles in each rib, witch are covered with white felt in young plants Radial spines: to 9 of different lengths.
Central spines: 2- 4, upper one flattened and wide, creamy white to copper-brown, up to 5 cm long, mm wide, lateral 2 even wider, angular, spreading, while the lower ones are shorter and point downwards. Flowers: From the plant crown, about 2,5 cm, wide, with a short tube, white, pinkish purple or violet or rarely yellowish with a darker violet to purple midvein in early spring.
Blooming season: Spring and summer. Subspecies, varieties, forms and cultivars of plants belonging to the Stenocactus multicostatus group-complex. Notes: The plant of this species found in cultivation are quite variable, and the dissimilarity among seedlings spination and ribs shape may be considerable.
Knees, H. Poole, William R. Carr, Dana M. Price, Jason R. Cultivation and Propagation: Small growing and easy to to care and flower. Growth rate: It is a slow growing species. Soil: It grows well in a very draining mineral potting substrate, but it isn't picky about soil.
Repotting: Use pot with good drainage. Eventually, as they become mature, they attain a maximum size of 20 cm. However, old plants become senile and have a tendency to succumb to disease and a weak root system. At this stage, as is well known, they die suddenly. So, after they reach 10 cm in diameter grow them slowly, and adopt a new repotting period, using intervals of every 2 - 3 years.
Additionally grow them under drier conditions or with stronger sunlight. Watering: Water regularly during the summer so long as the plant pot is allowed to drain and not sit in a tray of water It rots easily, especially if over wet. Let dry between watering. During hot weather you may need to water the plants more frequently so long as the plant is actively growing.
From late September watering should be reduced to force the plant to go in to a state of semi dormancy, by October you should be back in to the winter watering regime. If the soil is allowed to be dry for too long root loss could follow but equally the same result would occur if the plants are both wet and cold. From March onwards the plant will begin to grow and watering should be increased gradually until late May when the plant should be in full growth.
Fertilization: Feed with a high potassium fertilizer in summer. Feeding may not be necessary at all if the compost is fresh then, feed in summer only if the plant hasn't been repotted recently. Do not feed the plants from September onwards as this can cause lush growth which can be fatal during the darker cold months.
