1. Name Origin:
- Derived from the Greek words *gymnos* (naked) and *kalyx* (calyx), referring to the flower buds lacking spines or hair.
2. Physical Appearance:
- Shape: Typically small and spherical or slightly flattened.
- Size: Usually grows up to 4–15 cm in diameter.
- Color: Green to bluish-green body with prominent ribs. Some species may appear brownish due to pigmentation.
- Spines: Short to medium-length spines radiating from distinct areoles.
3. Flowers:
- Colors: White-pink with a delicate sheen.
- Location: Blooms emerge from the apex (top) of the plant.
-Season: Typically bloom in late spring to early summer.
Popular Species
1. Gymnocalycium mihanovichii: Known for its colorful mutants (e.g., the "Moon Cactus").
2. Gymnocalycium baldianum: Renowned for its bright red to pink flowers.
3. Gymnocalycium saglionis: Larger species with robust spines.
4. Gymnocalycium friedrichii: Features striking markings and colorful flowers.
This variety is cross of mihanovichii and friedrichii
Care and Cultivation
1. Light:
- Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Prolonged exposure to harsh sun may cause sunburn.
- Indoors, place near a sunny window with filtered light.
2. Watering:
- Follow the "soak and dry" method: water thoroughly and allow the soil to dry completely before re-watering.
- Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
3. Soil:
- Well-draining cactus mix is essential. You can improve drainage by adding sand, pumice, or perlite.
4. Temperature
- Thrives in temperatures between 15°C and 38°C .
- Protect from frost; minimum temperature of 5°C is ideal.
5. Fertilizer:
- Use a diluted cactus fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during dormancy.
6. Repotting:
- Repot every 2–3 years in spring to refresh the soil. Handle carefully due to spines.
Propagation
1. Offsets: Many Gymnocalycium species produce small offsets (pups) at the base, which can be separated and replanted.
2. Seeds: Sow seeds in a well-draining medium and maintain humidity. Germination may take weeks to months.
Common Issues
1. Overwatering: Leads to root rot. Ensure soil is well-draining and avoid standing water.
2. Pests: Watch for mealybugs, spider mites, and scale insects. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
3. Sunburn: Sudden exposure to intense sunlight can cause discoloration or scarring. Gradually acclimate to brighter light.
Plant Size : 1 Inch To 3 Inch Diameter.
