Technical details: Botanical name: Gymnocalycium spegazzinii Seed Quantity: 10 selected seeds per pack Plant type: Perennial succulent cactus. Characterized by a slow but rewarding growing cycle, resulting in long-lived specimens. Plant Height: This cactus species remains relatively small, typically reaching a diameter of 5-10 cm when mature, making it perfect for growing in pots. Uses: Ideal as an ornamental indoor plant, to enrich succulent collections, rock gardens in suitable climates or as a decorative element on desks and shelves. Organoleptic characteristics: The stem is globose, grayish-green or blue-green in color, with prominent tuberculate ribs and areoles bearing short, sturdy spines. The flowers, which appear in spring and summer, are funnel-shaped and range in color from pure white to pale pink or cream, sometimes with greenish hues, emerging from the apex of the plant. Resistance and Origin: Native to the arid regions of Argentina and Bolivia, it is extremely resistant to drought and prefers hot, dry climates. Sowing period: Sowing is recommended in spring or early summer, when temperatures are naturally warmer and more constant. Optimal conditions for germination: Requires a constant temperature between 20°C and 30°C, high but controlled humidity (often achieved with covered seed trays or "bag" methods) and a specific, sterile and well-draining substrate. Soil type: An extremely well-draining substrate, specific for cacti and succulents, composed of a mixture of universal soil, coarse sand, pumice or perlite in appropriate proportions (e.g. 1/3 soil, 1/3 sand, 1/3 inert) is essential. Recommended exposure: Full light, but with protection from direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day, especially for young seedlings. Once established, it tolerates direct sunlight but benefits from light shade during the hottest summer months. Germination time: Gymnocalycium spegazzinii seeds can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to germinate, depending on environmental conditions and seed freshness. Patience is a virtue when growing cacti from seed. Pot or ground cultivation: Perfect for growing in pots, even small ones, to allow for easy management of the substrate and exposure. Growing in the ground is only possible in Mediterranean or subtropical climates with mild, dry winters. Quality Specifications: Our cactus seeds are Non-GMO, selected for their variety and tested for high germination, ensuring the best chance of success for your growing projects.
