Gymnocalycium erinaceum f. variegated (Variegated)

The variegated shape of this cactus presents the typical yellow zones in the exact points where the chlorophyll is absent: these characteristics will never be the same from one plant to another, therefore each exemplar will be absolutely unique and, for this reason, very sought after by collectors. Its yellowish variegation, in fact, creates a fantastic harmony of colors and a very eye-catching visual impact. G. erinaceum is a small, globose cactus with a solitary shape. Its stem, olive green, has tubercles and ribs with woolly areolas from which emerge short and thin spines, slightly curved, dark brown at the base and white-gray at the apex. In spring it generates funnel-shaped flowers of white color.
