types of brain cactus Stenocactus multicostatus – Brain Cactus | Rare Ribbed Wave CactusDescription Light Soil Water Hardiness Commonly known as the Brain Cactus or Wave Cactus, this is a small, globular cactus that looks like a living geometric puzzle. It is world famous for its "multicostatus" (many ribbed) structure, featuring dozens of thin, wavy, papery ribs that tightly pack the surface of the plant, mimicking the folds of a brain. Between these folds, small clusters of spines emerge, adding to its rugged, prehistoric aesthetic.

  • Commonly known as the Brain Cactus or Wave Cactus, this is a small, globular cactus that looks like a living geometric puzzle. It is world-famous for its "multicostatus" (many-ribbed) structure, featuring dozens of thin, wavy, papery ribs that tightly pack the surface of the plant, mimicking the folds of a brain. Between these folds, small clusters of spines emerge, adding to its rugged, prehistoric aesthetic.

    This species is native to the high-elevation deserts of Central Mexico (specifically Coahuila, San Luis Potosí, and Zacatecas). Growing in limestone-rich soil among grasses, its wavy ribs are an evolutionary marvel designed to provide shade to the plant's body and allow for rapid expansion during rare rainfalls.

    The blooms of the Brain Cactus are as dramatic as its body. In early spring, large, funnel-shaped flowers emerge from the crown. These flowers are typically white or pale violet with a bold, dark purple or pink stripe running down the center of each petal, creating a striking "starburst" effect against the wavy green ribs.

  • Bright Indirect to Full Sun. High light is necessary to maintain the tight, wavy rib structure and encourage blooming.

    Mineral-Rich Cactus Mix. Prefers a very gritty soil (pumice, lava rock, and coarse sand) with very little organic peat.

    Low. Use the "soak and dry" method. Be careful not to let water sit in the deep folds of the ribs, as this can cause rot.
  • 9 to 11. Protect from frost; if kept dry, it can handle brief dips in temperature.

Finally found something to help with daughters eczema!
This product was just a simple next choice on our eczema journey with my daughters skin. We have tried most of the ointments and lotion available over the counter and only found slight relief with topical steroids. Due to my daughters age we always strayed from intense medical treatments to allow her body to grow as natural as possible. We have been to allergists, dermatologists and even regular doctor visits with some help but nothing that compares to this products outcome. My daughter hates her daily routine of lotion and how she was left feeling after application. Someone mentioned this product so we gave it an honest try. IT WORKS. I have no clue as to why it works so well because we cannot find a singular cause for the eczema, but since purchasing this product and using it once a day only on affected areas. Her skin is now clearer than EVER before, including when we tried topical steroids. She doesn't dread her bedtime routine any more and sometimes will even apply it herself. This has taken my daughters dry, flaky, cracked, itchy and sometimes bleeding skin and repaired it to normal and soft to the touch. I recommend this to anyone who has tried everything and to anyone who is just starting to look. I am receiving absolutely no compensation for this review but the fact that my daughter is now able to sleep all night. I cannot say it will work for everyone but can say that without a doubt has worked for us. One tube will usually last a month and sometimes longer, so it is very affordable. I will say that while it does not fully relieve her itching, it does make it much more bearable. She is young so struggled with not scratching but now is able to recognize her scratching and stop

ECZEMA HONEY Lotion Stick
I am in love with this stick moisturizer by Eczema Honey. I don't have eczema, but wanted a travel friendly, face/body friendly, ingredient friendly super moisterizer. This ticks all the boxes and more. A little goes a long way, it really does soak in without being greasy or oily, but can be layered for a more intense moisture. (More will leave you feeling with a little slip.) The light lavender scent is wonderful, not over whelming or too medicinal. Just pretty light lavender floral. I use this as a night cream and my face is so very soft in the morning. As a hand cream it's makes my skin look plump. Its fast and easy to use on my legs and body. It warms up quickly so there is no skin tugging. This is an amazing quality and the price is just right for how great this is! It's a staple for me.

Great product
Really helps with eczema! Yes it can be a little gritty but if you use your fingers and heat it up a little the grittiness disappears. Great item to leave in your purse, car or desk in case the eczema itch starts up.

Great for toddler eczema
Such a nice on-the-go option! We leave this in the car for quick application when my daughter’s eczema on her ankles starts acting up (she’s 2 and will scratch it while in her car seat). It helps almost instantly to minimize irritation. The consistency is smooth, doesn’t melt in the warmth, absorbs fast, and has a neutral smell. Very happy with this product and will buy more when we run out!

It's a YES. Love this stuff.
I usually don't write reviews but... this stuff is amazing for me. I don't have eczema but I needed a face lotion that didn't break me out since Iv'e been having problems with acne lately. I used this awhile ago and tried other products but nothing worked like this. It is so gentle on my face and also IT REMOVES EYE MAKEUP, which is a real game changer for me since even showering cannot take off my mascara at times. But this just swipes it away completely as well as moisturizes which is perfect. Skin feels soft and no irritations, it also lasts forever but keep it out of the heat because it will melt if it gets too hot. It is similar to stick sunscreens IMO and has a bit of a gritty texture at times but it is not abrasive and goes on smoothly. Smells like lavender but is not too overpowering of a smell. The ingredients are really clean too which is hard to find nowadays. For this price, I will be coming back from now on. This is a winner for me!
