Gymnocalycium mihanovichii cv. ‘Kikko’ inermis

US Seller – You Will Purchase the Exact Plant Pictured!

The Gymnocalycium mihanovichii cv. ‘Kikko’ inermis is a highly sought-after, geometric beauty loved by collectors for its dramatic, angular ribs and sculpted star-like pattern. Each “Kikko” forms unique ridges and points that make it look almost crystalline, creating the illusion of a living gemstone.

Native to South America, this rare cultivar is slow-growing and compact—perfect for small spaces, display shelves, or collectors who appreciate symmetry and texture. In the right conditions, it may reward you with delicate pinkish-white blooms that contrast beautifully against its deep green or purplish skin.

Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, indirect to filtered sunlight. Avoid harsh afternoon rays, especially behind glass, which can scorch the plant. Morning or late-afternoon light is ideal.
Water: Water thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. During cooler months, water very sparingly.
Humidity: Low humidity is best. Avoid misting.
Temperature: Keep between 65–85°F (18–29°C). Protect from frost and cold drafts.
💡 Pro Tip: Use a well-draining cactus mix with extra pumice or perlite. “Kikko” appreciates airflow and hates soggy roots. A clay pot helps moisture evaporate more evenly.
