Plant Care Guide
Light
Gymnocalyciums prefer bright indirect light. Placing them near a window with filtered or indirect sunlight is usually ideal.
Water
Allow soil to mostly dry out between waterings.
Level of Care
Easy! Just place in bright indirect sunlight and don't overwater.
Air Purifying
Gymnocalyciums do not possess significant air-purifying capabilities or actively remove toxins from the air.
Fertilizer
It's recommended to fertilize Gymnocalyciums about once every two to three months during the growing season (spring and summer). You can use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer specifically formulated for cacti and succulents.
Temperature
The ideal temperature range for Gymnocalyciums is between 65°F and 80°F. They are generally comfortable in typical indoor room temperatures. They can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, down to around 50°F.
Soil
Use a well-draining cactus or succulents potting mix.
Pruning & Propagation
Trim off any dead or decaying parts of the plant to maintain its health and appearance.
Pet Friendly
Sorry! While Gymnocalyciums are non-toxic if consumed, their spines can still cause harm to pets.
