Product Description

Gymnocalycium chubutense is a small, globular cactus native to Argentina, specifically the Chubut province. It typically grows up to 5 cm in height and 7 cm in diameter. The plant has a dark green, sometimes bluish-green body with well-defined ribs and rounded tubercles. Each areole contains short, whitish to gray spines. In spring and summer, it produces funnel-shaped flowers that are white to pale pink, often with a darker center. This species is prized for its compact size and attractive floral display.
