The Long Spine White Dragon Pill is a hard medium-sized cactus that often forms clusters. It has distinct tuberous protuberances with white fluff and long spines on the areoles. The top of the ball produces bright red small flowers, which have good ornamental value. Especially the clustering balls in pots are particularly appealing. They resemble a mountain stone arrangement, natural and elegant, with unique charm. It is commonly propagated by播种 (seeding), cutting, and grafting. Offspring balls can sprout from the base of the stem, which can be used for cutting or as scions, with the stock commonly being the Huandian尺 (a type of cactus). It prefers a warm, dry environment with plenty of sunlight. It is relatively cold-tolerant, drought-resistant, and semi-shaded. It requires well-drained, fertile sandy loam soil.
