Highlights
Gymnocalycium anisitsii var. tucavocense (Backeberg): A small, uniquely pink cactus with large pink to lilac flowers. Its short stem looks like it's covered with large scales or plates. The tip of each scale has a fuzzy white patch called an areole, from which five or six spines arise. This plant flowers quite profusely and even young plants can produce a bouquet of beautiful lavender to pink flowers.
This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
