Gymnocalycium intertextum

G. intertextum is a small globe-shaped cactus with a diameter of max 10cm. Its stem of intense green color is equipped with marked ribs and protruding tubercles. At the apex of each tubercle we find the fluffy white areoles from which emerge its beautiful spines that cover the stem entirely. The spines arranged in rays are very robust; long and curved towards the body of the plant in such a way as to intertwine with each other. They are white-graish shades and over time can take on brown shades at the tips. The beautiful daisies of G. intertextum grow at the apex of the plant, with delicate light pink petals and a dark pink median line, creating a very pleasant visual effect.
