How our relationship with this plant has changed over time.
Indigenous populations likely interacted with these plants as part of the local desert ecosystem long before they were observed by outsiders.
As botanical exploration expanded into remote South American deserts, these cacti were documented and cataloged for formal scientific study.
You can now find these in collections where they are propagated primarily through offsets. Their slow, upright growth makes them a steady presence for those who enjoy minimal care routines.
