This is a pretty rare and not too often seen plant. It is variegated and a crest. Like all M. geometrizans, it likes FULL sun and hot temps. given these it will grow pretty fast compared to other crested cacti.

Like any variegated, some have more yellow than others. Pretty unique i think.

growing conditions are no different than regular M. geometrizans, but it grows slower.
