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. Â
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. Â
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. Â
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.Â
So, whether you're an avid green thumb or just looking for a new addition to your collection, consider this Gymnocalycium anistsii!
