Black/dark purple cactus, black/maroon/grey spines!!! This one is for you, goth plant lovers!
Fairly easy to grow but will require some attention during mid summer to make sure that your plant doesn't get sunburnd. Other than that, grow it like your typical South American cactus...so no summer monsoon flushing, just water once in a while.
