Plant height: Generally reaches a diameter of 5-10 cm and a maximum height of 10-15 cm when mature.
Uses: An exceptional ornamental plant, perfect for cactus collections, terrariums, rock gardens, windowsills, and as a decorative element indoors and outdoors in mild climates.
Organoleptic characteristics: Characterized by a globular or slightly depressed body, with well-defined ribs and pronounced tubercles. The spines are few, short, and light in color. Flowering occurs in spring/summer with funnel-shaped flowers, usually bright yellow or creamy white, emerging from the apex.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to the temperate regions of Uruguay and neighboring countries. It is a hardy species, drought-resistant, and tolerant of short periods of cold if kept dry. It prefers a warm, dry climate.
Sowing season: Spring (March to June) is the ideal time for sowing, taking advantage of milder temperatures and long days.
Optimal germination conditions: Requires a light, well-drained substrate specifically designed for cacti. Maintain a constant temperature between 20°C and 25°C and high humidity (cover the tray with plastic wrap) until the first seedlings appear. Requires bright, indirect light.
Soil type: It prefers a highly draining substrate with a predominance of inert materials (pumice, lapilli, perlite) and minimal organic matter. The ideal pH is slightly acidic or neutral.
Recommended location: Place in full sun or bright partial shade. It's advisable to protect young seedlings and potted specimens from excessive direct summer sunlight during the hottest hours of the day.
Germination times: Germination times can vary from 7 days to several weeks, and in some cases even months, depending on environmental conditions and the freshness of the organic garden seeds and cactus seeds.
Pot or ground cultivation: It is ideally suited to pot cultivation, even in small containers, given its compact size. It can be grown in open ground only in areas with Mediterranean or subtropical climates, where excellent drainage is guaranteed.
