Gymnocalycium gibbosum f. variegata (Variegated)

The variegated shape of this cactus has the typical yellow areas in the exact points where chlorophyll is absent: these streaks will never be the same from one plant to another, therefore each specimen will be absolutely unique and, for this reason, strongly sought after by cactus lovers. It is a small slow-growing cactacea, with a globular shape slightly depressed at the apex. It has well-defined ribs, the color of which can vary from olive green to opaque dark gray. White-yellow thorns emerge from whitish areoles, erect and of variable length, which tend to curve upwards. Between spring and summer, funnel-shaped inflorescences bloom in a white color that is so bright that it looks like silk.
