4-5cm Gymnocalycium quehlianum

Gymnocalycium quehlianum is a charming and highly ornamental cactus known for its compact size, attractive spine patterns, and vibrant flowers. Native to Argentina, this small, globular species typically grows as a solitary plant, though it may slowly produce offsets over time. Its blue-green to gray-green stem features well-defined ribs adorned with short, delicate spines that range from white to pale brown, often with darker tips, creating a subtle yet striking contrast against the stem.
