Uebelmannia pectinifera is a rare cactus known for its ribbed, spherical to cylindrical shape and purplish-brown to green colour. Its sharp ribs have fine, comb-like spines in a radial pattern, giving it a textured look. Mature plants may develop a waxy coating for sun protection and can produce small yellow flowers at the top.

This cactus thrives in sunny environments like greenhouses or conservatories.
