Product Description

Gymnocalycium vatteri ‘Kikko’ is a distinctive form of the Gymnocalycium vatteri, known for its unique, heavily pronounced tubercles that create a geometric, almost sculptural appearance. This small, globular cactus typically grows to about 3-4 cm in diameter and features deep, irregular ribs. The tubercles are more prominent compared to the standard form, giving it a unique, knobby texture. It produces striking flowers that range from white to pale pink, emerging from the crown. This cactus thrives in well-draining, sandy soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. It’s known for its resilience and minimal water requirements.
