Plant Description

Tephrocactus geometricus is a unique and visually striking cactus native to the high-altitude regions of Argentina. This cactus forms small, spherical segments that grow in a geometric pattern, often resembling stacked balls. The segments are smooth, bluish-green, and can grow up to 8 cm in diameter. Its glaucous surface and minimal spines make it a standout among cacti. During the growing season, it produces beautiful white to pale pink flowers that emerge from the top of the segments. This cactus is prized for its distinctive appearance and compact growth habit.
