Delicate pill is a very small spherical species, in the shape of a rod or ball. Corm 3cm~~6cm, 4 cm~~10cm high. The sphere is relatively hard and is born when it is young, and the mature old plants often grow in groups. There are tiny white thorns on the axe-shaped warts on the sphere, arranged in the shape of castor. The purplish red floret is born at the top of the sphere with a diameter of 3cm and blossoms from late spring to early autumn.

Morphological features:

Delicate pills usually grow under trees. CITES protection level 1, appearance is dark green, spherical or hammer-shaped. The growing point of the adult plant has tufted white hairs, and the old plant changes the ball to form a multi-headed group. The seedlings have tuberous roots. No traditional type of thorns, comb-shaped thorns. Verrucous grains protrude into long and narrow sticks, and there is a little white hair in front of the thorn seat of mature plants. The flowers are pink to pink, and the flowering season is usually from spring to autumn. But it takes a while for it to blossom.

Methods of reproduction:

Fine pills are relatively easy to cultivate, but they grow slowly, so they can be grafted to improve their growth rate. Exquisite pills like a well-drained, sunny environment (need enough light, controlled watering to keep the plant compact and not too elongated). They are native to trees, so they are afraid of sun exposure and are properly shady. Sunshade, ventilation and heat dissipation are needed in summer. In winter, it should be put indoors to control water and improve its cold resistance. The growth of fine pill is relatively slow and slender in the seedling stage, and the apical sphere expands continuously after growing up, so the adult plant is often in the shape of a mallet.

Can be sowed and propagated, the sowing temperature should be above 30 degrees Celsius, it takes 5-7 years from sowing to growing up, it needs to be watered very carefully, and the cutting propagation of lateral buds can also be carried out to ensure that the wound is fully healed before cutting.
