What is Gymnocalycium vatteri?

Gymnocalycium vatteri is a cactus of the genus Gymnocalycium.

Native to Argentina-Uruguay in South America, it is rich in varieties and delights horticultural enthusiasts.

All of these are seedlings with a tangle of local globe seedlings.

It was kept in a No. 3 plastic pot, but before long it had exceeded the width of the pot and the roots had also punctured the pot.

Cacti are often thought of as native to arid deserts, but batteries are native to grasslands and prefer water.

It has a cold tolerance of more than 5°C, so it will overwinter well if kept indoors in sunny conditions in winter.

This variety is very easy to manage, even for beginners, and is recommended for those looking for a cool but austere cactus with a lot of personality.

Working to create individuals of your own choice is another way to enjoy gardening.
