Gymnocalycium damsii var.tucavocense (Syn: G. anisitsii ssp. damsii)

in cactus •  6 years ago 

When I saw the cactus Gymnocalycium damsii var.tucavocense, I immediately fell in love with it!

He was small, but with a few buds!
I also liked that it was two-color.
Do you agree with me that he is very nice?
So he went home with me!

Gymnocalycium damsii var. tucavocense blooms at a very early age.
It can bloom when its diameter is only 1.5 cm!
Easily gives children, often forms large groups.

Gymnocalycium damsii var.tucavocense can not be constantly kept under the sun.
He needs diffused sunlight.

He loves copious watering 2 times a week.
But I water it once a week.

Beautiful!!
Now I wait for flowers too :))

Thank you!
Let's wait together! :-)

How long does the flower stay bloomed?

I think of the day 3.
Now, when it blossoms, I'll count it.

Oh, such a short time of beauty.

This is normal.
There are cacti that bloom only 1 day.
This cactus often blooms.
