Gymnocalycium hossei (Cactus)

It is a low-growing globular cactus, depressed at the apex. The epidermis varies in color from dark green to brownish or even purplish. On the well-pronounced ribs, tubercles with downy whitish areoles can be seen, from which stiff and robust spines of various length and shape emerge, which initially are of a brownish color, but become gray with age. In summer, the plant produces white or pink inflorescences, which bloom at the apex. Gymnocalycium hossei is an easy-to-grow cactus, so it is also ideal for beginners.
