Product Description

The Turbinicarpus schwarzii is a small, unique cactus with a distinctive tuberculate body. This species features a spherical to cylindrical shape, with well-defined tubercles that give it a bumpy texture. The areoles are covered with white wool and bear short, radial spines that range in color from white to brown. During the flowering season, it produces delicate pink or white flowers, often with a darker center. This cactus is native to the arid regions of Mexico and is admired for its compact size and beautiful blooms.
