Matucana aureiflora is a small, globose cactus native to Peru, where it grows in montane valleys. In cultivation it's a fast grower and in spring and summer it produces magnificent yellow flowers that appear in flushes.
For best results, grow Matucana aureiflora in full sun or partial shade, with protection from the hottest summer sun. Plant this species in a deep pot to allow space for its tap root, in very well-drained soil. Protect from frost and reduce watering in winter.
