Highlights
Gymnocalycium ochoterenae ssp. vatteri (Papsch): A petite, flattened cactus of olive green with robust spines that recurve back toward the stem. This subspecies has 1-3 recurved radial spines. It is a small, slow grower and usually stays solitary. It blooms with a white to cream funnelform flower. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.
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. Keep dry in winter.
