Product Description

The Turbinicarpus dickisoniae is a charming, compact cactus featuring a round, dome-shaped body. It boasts distinct tubercles adorned with woolly areoles from which short, curved spines emerge, ranging from white to brownish hues. This plant is especially admired for its delicate, pink flowers with a pale center, which bloom at the apex. Originating from the mountainous regions of Mexico, it thrives in rocky, arid environments. The seeds of this species are sought after by cactus enthusiasts due to the plant’s unique aesthetic appeal and relatively easy care.
