Teh stems grow up to eight inches tall and up to four inches in diameter. Teh Yellowish white areolas have golden yellow spines. The yellow flowers are funnel shaped and just shy of an inch in diameter. These flowers are produced in the center of the stem atop its peak. This species does not like direct sunlight and is accustomed to regular even watering. The Golden Powder Puff cactus is native to Argentina.
