The genus name Gymnocalycium comes from the Greek for "naked calyx" referring to the flower buds bearing no hair or spines. The stem can grow up to 10 cm tall, 8-15 cm in diameter, colorful and highly decorative, with horizontal clear and dark strips. The clear areas (above the areoles) are pastel-grey-pink while the dark zone (below the areoles) are deep olive-green to brown-purple. The spines are nearly useless in terms of defense. It is a summer easy to grow species that offers no cultivation difficulties. Water regularly in summer (but do not over water). Keep this plant almost dry in winter at a minimum temperature of 0°C.
