I photographed this Gymnocalycium in the plant nursery, it was from the collection of owners.
I really liked him!
I have several of them. Gymnocalycium is not capricious and willingly blooms.
Gymnocalycium begins to bloom in 2-3 years of life.
Direct sunlight is undesirable, as burns appear on it.
I am glad that the Gymnocalicium loves high temperatures. In summer, he feels good even at 30 ° C.
In winter, the temperature should not fall below + 8 ° C.
Otherwise, he may die!
Gymnocalycium is watered sparingly, regularly only during the growing season. In winter, it is recommended that watering be stopped altogether, only occasionally moistening the earthen lump.
Gymnocalycium loves spraying.
Shower procedures that wash away dust are useful to him, especially after wintering.
The gymnocalycium does not tolerate acidic soil, it must be neutral or slightly acidic.
