Gymnocalycium is not picky about the temperature, the main thing is that there are no sudden changes or drafts.

Watering

Gymnocalycium Michanovich should be used sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out sufficiently.

Like all cacti, this species is not afraid of drought, but it has a very negative attitude towards constant flooding and can quickly rot.

Water it once or twice a week to keep the soil slightly moist.

In winter, reduce watering; just don't let the soil dry out completely;

One watering per week will be enough. In addition, it is better to use rain or distilled water for irrigation rather than tap water.

What kind of soil is needed

The plant needs slightly acidic, loose, moisture- and water-permeable soil.

Reproduction. The easiest way to obtain a new gymnocalycium is to cut off the lateral shoots, which are formed in large numbers on the mother plant.
