Stenocactus multicostatus, or Echinofossulocactus multicostatus is commonly known as the ‘Brain Cactus’. It is best grown in pots because of its wrinkled look, globular shape, small size, and low growth rate. This winter-dormant plant can reach up to the height of 2.5 inches. Brain succulents are native to Mexico and belong to the Cactaceae family.
The Stenocactus multicostatus plant has a slow growth rate.
If you are a cactus collector looking for a unique yet beautiful specimen, the Brain Cactus is a good choice, even if you do not have a lot of space. It also makes an excellent gift, and because it is a low-maintenance plant, it is suitable for even inexperienced gardeners.
