Description

Melocactus maxonii – Turk’s Cap Cactus In TerracottaA highly collectable form of Melocactus, Melocactus maxonii Like all Melocactus, it eventually forms a bright woolly cephalium (turks cap) at maturity, giving it its iconic look. This is not the same as Melocactus broadwayi just a form of M. maxonii. Plant Care Light: Full Sun. Cacti need bright light to survive. My rule of thumb is always to let them have a view of the sky. The best bet is a sunny windowsill. Watering: In the spring and summer

A highly collectable form of Melocactus, Melocactus maxonii —  Like all Melocactus, it eventually forms a bright woolly cephalium (“turk’s cap”) at maturity, giving it its iconic look.
This is not the same as Melocactus broadwayi — just a form of M. maxonii.

Plant Care

Light: Full Sun. Cacti need bright light to survive. My rule of thumb is always to let them have a view of the sky. The best bet is a sunny windowsill.

Watering:  In the spring and summer growing season you may water every 7–10 days only once the soil is completely dry, and reduce watering sharply in autumn. Over winter keep the plant almost dry and avoid any waterlogging.

Temperature: 12-25°C is the ideal range. This plant is not keen on being cold so don't let it go down to 10 °C for long periods

Potting: A well-draining mix is ideal for this plant. Our Savvy Succa would be a great fit.

Hot tips: Once the cephalium forms, watering needs drop even more.

Pet Friendly: I mean yes but I dont think your furry friend would be happy with all those spikes!

Stable and attractive
Item Package Quantity: 1, Color: Black
Love the black, it matches my kitchen well. Very sturdy, more so than the Simple Human one that the tension arm broke. A very good product.

Great paper towel holder
Item Package Quantity: 1, Color: Black
This paper towel holder works well for holding the roll while you pull off single sheets. It's heavy and sturdy.

Passed (my) test: 4/5
Item Package Quantity: 1, Color: Black
I used to have a paper holder affixed to the wall. Obviously, it was stable but not always delivering the size of paper towel that we expected. After redoing my kitchen backsplash that I didn’t want to pierce through just yet, i decided to go for an countertop paper towel holder, and i picked this one (in black) Reviews were decent and i liked that it has an “arm” to hold the paper. So, i put it to the test (see video) Here are my conclusions: 1) Solid built and weighted at the bottom + rubber to prevent the holder from moving around while pulling the paper 👍🏼 2) out of five trials at pulling the paper, i only had one fail (see video) which is still a better ratio than with my wall holder. 👍🏼 3) There are probably cheaper holders on the market, but most of them are not stable and require two hands to pull paper. This one is easy of use with only one hand which is useful while cooking. 4) i like that this holder comes in different colors, to match the kitchen decoration. 5) The hook at the top of the holder is convenient to carry the holder out of the kitchen, to the dining table for example.

Great Product - Exactly what I was looking for
Item Package Quantity: 1, Color: Black
Great product. Love the black color and the look on my counter. The tension arm does its job and the product is stable when taking a paper towel off the roll.
