Description
Gymnocalycium baldianum (dwarf chin cactus) is a semi-flattened globular dark green, species with appressed spines along shallow ribs. It also produces absolutely dynamite flowers. They’re 1.5 inches in diameter and can be white, light pink, red, hot pink, or even coral or salmon. This species is native to Argentina (Catamarca Province).
Size:
2.5 inch pot diameter
Care Instructions:
Prefers filtered light or shade. Therefore, provide light shading from the sun in the hottest months, but to overdo this will result in the loss of flowers. Plant in a porous cactus mix with adequate drainage. Gymnocalycium species, as a rule, do not care for hot, stuffy locations, instead preferring cool, airy, shady areas. Watering in the summer months, while the plants are growing well, can be frequent (weekly for small plants in small pots) but always allow the soil to dry out before rewatering. Watering in the winter months is unwise and certainly not necessary.
Propagation:
This species produces offsets that can be readily propagated by cuttings. Gymnocalycium seed germinates well when fresh and will keep for a few years if stored in cold conditions.
