Cacti - Gymnocalycium #1
Gymnocalycium, often referred to as Chin Cactus, is a fascinating genus of flowering cacti native to South America. These cacti are beloved for their globular or flattened spherical shape, adorned with prominent ribs covered in sharp spines. The true showstoppers, however, are their large, vibrant flowers that bloom in a variety of colors, including white, pink, red, and yellow.
Key Characteristics:
Globular or Flattened Shape: Gymnocalycium cacti are typically small to medium-sized, with a rounded or slightly flattened appearance.
Ribbed Structure: Their stems feature distinct ribs, giving them a geometric and textured look.
Sharp Spines: The ribs are lined with clusters of spines that vary in size and color depending on the species.
Colorful Flowers: The large, funnel-shaped flowers are the main attraction, blooming in a wide range of colors and often lasting for several days.
Growing Conditions:
Sunlight: Gymnocalycium enjoys bright, indirect light or full sun, depending on the species.
Soil: They require well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix.
Water: Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering in
winter.
This Plant comes in a 130mm diameter container and the plant you see is the plant you get. The plant will be shipped bare rooted.
