Highlights
Gymnocalycium schreiteri (Till): A small, globose cactus of deep blue-green. It has low ribs which sport a few long, pale spines that lie flat against the stem. It can send up a large, funnelform flower of vibrant red to pink. It is often solitary, but can occasionally offset. Thought by some to be a variety of G. baldianum. 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.
