Echinofossulocactus multicostatus f. inermis

(a.k.a. Stenocactus multicostatus ‘Inermis’)

Like a green seashell rising from the desert, Echinofossulocactus multicostatus f. inermis features a maze of narrow, intricate ribs that ripple down its body like waves. This spineless form (yes, inermis means no spines!) is rare and refined — perfect for those who love their cacti weird, elegant, and gentle to the touch.

Native to Mexico, it’s a slow grower that thrives in bright light and gritty soil. Come spring, it may gift you with delicate pale pink to purple flowers — a soft reward for your desert patience.

🪴 Bigfoot’s Tip: No spines = no stress when repotting. Just don’t mistake it for soft — this cactus still wants that dry, tough love routine.
