Cobweb Succulent (Coryphantha Retusa)

The Cobweb cactus, scientifically known as Coryphantha retusa, is a distinctive and charming succulent that stands out due to its unique appearance. Its name “Cobweb” comes from the fine, web-like white spines that cover the plant, resembling a delicate cobweb. These spines contrast beautifully against its green body, making it a favorite among succulent enthusiasts.

Typically, the Cobweb cactus grows as a small, rounded form, with a soft, almost velvety texture due to the dense spines. The plant often produces small, colorful flowers that bloom from the top, adding an extra touch of beauty to its already striking appearance. It thrives in well-drained soil and is very drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering once established.

Cobweb cacti are great for containers or rock gardens and do well in full sun to partial shade. They are easy to care for, making them an excellent choice for beginners looking to add a unique succulent to their collection.
