Product Description

The Turbinicarpus swobodae is a compact cactus species known for its unique and charming appearance. It features a spherical to slightly cylindrical body with distinct tubercles arranged in a spiral pattern.

This cactus is particularly admired for its small, funnel-shaped flowers, which are often white or pink with a lighter center. Native to the arid regions of Mexico, Turbinicarpus swobodae is highly sought after by cactus enthusiasts for its beautiful flowers and manageable size, making it an excellent choice for both collectors and novice growers.
