Description:
Also known as “Gymnocalycium gibbosum var. chubutense”. It is a small cactacea, that can reach up to 9 centimeters in diameter. Its stem is globular and is a bit flattened at the apex, with slightly accentuated vertical ribs. This plant stands out for its particular dark green color, that tends to become black. From the few and distant white areoles dark radial spines grow, which stiffen over time and reach up to 5 centimeters in length. Its funnel-shaped flowers, which bloom near the apex, are yellow inside with petals, ranging in color from white to pink-violet.

Plant care:
It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight especially during the hottest hours of the day.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 7 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce watering to once every two months in autumn, and to suspend it completely in winter.
The best soil is a well draining one, for example formed by a mixture of peat and pumice so that the water does not stagnate.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
