The plant is frost-hardy, but all parts of the plant above ground die in winter.
A really beautiful Cuprea!
Some time ago I bought a very small Cuprea myself and almost lost it. I found it difficult to keep the soil continuously not too moist, but not too dry either. When there was no leaf left, I repotted it in a Lechuza planter (a combination of baked clay granules, water reservoir and self-watering wick) and it recovered. I guess that keeps the right balance and avoids root rot.
I believe it's the first time I see a crested cactus with so much hair. It looks stunning! (Actually it looks like it could jump down and run away lol)

After a difficult time because I had underestimated the morning sun during a hot spell this little orchid is doing well again π₯΅
3 flowers and many buds π₯°
Wow!
At first glance I thought you grafted them on San Pedro cacti and i was wondering what you did with the cuttings π΅π΅βπ«π lol
Maybe you're lucky and the top right rootstock grows a new branch β but that's a long time for those cute little cacti to corrupt your evil soul with beauty and love β€οΈβπ©Ή So be careful!
You should really sink about your moral compass
Oh thank you, i thought it's a bunny. But you are right!
Never saw a hampter on reddit. It's cute!

I can't stop reading your comment with your username in mind lol
Nope. That's the "something special". You do it manually with the help of a very well written handbook and learn a great deal about how an os works. IMO a great experience.
