Description:
In its crested form, Gymnocalycium horstii is characterized by a crested growth instead of the typical globose shape of the species. In this form, the ribs merge together into a sort of wavy or pleated ridge along the top of the plant. The spines, if present, can be arranged irregularly along the crest. This cactus, in its normal form, is globose with pronounced ribs and white or greyish thorns, arranged along the areoles along the ribs. It is also known for the characteristic wooly areoles that produce light pink or cream white flowers, which bloom from the top of the plant during the flowering season.

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.
