Melocactus maxonii – Turk’s Cap Cactus In Terracotta patterned It can tolerate slightly lowerA highly collectable form of Melocactus, Melocactus maxonii Like all Melocactus, it eventually forms a bright woolly cephalium (turks cap) at maturity, giving it its iconic look. This is not the same as Melocactus broadwayi just a form of M. maxonii. Plant Care Light: Full Sun. Cacti need bright light to survive. My rule of thumb is always to let them have a view of the sky. The best bet is a sunny windowsill. Watering: In the spring and summer
