Thelocactus setispinus represents one Small physical stock plant verified in the Pack 0002 video. The same specimen appears in frames plant_0024 and plant_0056; the matching pot, flower, and tray context mean it contributes only one stock unit.

This sun-loving cactus performs best in a very bright position and a fast-draining mix. Do not water again before the substrate dries, drain all excess, and introduce stronger direct sun gradually.

Flower stage, spine length, and body details naturally change in living stock. Dispatch in flower is not guaranteed. The storefront image is not the stock-video crop; it is a licensed representative reference image.
