Looking for a low-maintenance succulent that can add some charm to your indoor or outdoor space? Look no further than the Gymnocalycium anisitsii, a vibrant member of the Gymnocalycium genus.
With its lovely funnel-shaped vivid white-pink blooms from late spring to early summer and easy-to-care-for growth habits, this globular cactus plant is sure to be a hit with both experienced gardeners and beginners alike. This solitary plant can grow up to 4 inches tall and 6 inches in diameter. It also has thin, twisted spines that range in color from yellow to brown.
This Gymnocalycium grows best in bright light, so make sure to provide plenty of it; if growing indoors, a south-facing location is ideal. It can thrive best in well-drained soil, minimal watering, and balanced fertilizer with NPK (5-10-5). Remember, those that have recently been purchased or repotted do not need to be fed for the first year.
Native to South America, this Gymno cactus can be easily propagated through seeds or offsets. In the USDA zones 9 to 11, the cactus Gymnocalycium can be grown outside.
So, whether you're an avid green thumb or just looking for a new addition to your collection, consider this Gymnocalycium anistsii!
