Malotigena frantiskae-niederlovae

Grow under glass in an unheated alpine or greenhouse, in a sharply drained cactus compost mix, in full light with good ventilation. Also does well outdoors in troughs, on a scree/crevice bed or in a rock garden, as long as there is adequate drainage. May need protection from hard frosts. See hardy cacti and succulent cultivation

Propagate by seed, sown at 21°C, or by softwood cuttings in spring or early summer
