Gymnocalycium variegata - Exact Plant

US Seller – You Will Purchase the Exact Plant Pictured!

The Gymnocalycium variegata is a stunning collector’s cactus known for its bold, marbled coloration and sculpted form. Each specimen displays a completely unique mix of pink, yellow, green, red, and cream—no two are ever alike. Its compact, symmetrical body showcases these vivid tones beautifully, making it a true statement piece for any rare plant collection.

This species is easy to care for and remains small, making it perfect for windowsills, shelves, or curated displays. When mature, it may reward you with soft, pale-pink blooms that contrast beautifully with its vibrant variegation.

Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight or gentle morning sun. Avoid harsh midday light to protect the variegation from burn.
Water: Water deeply only when the soil is completely dry. Reduce watering in cooler months. Avoid standing water in the crown.
Humidity: Prefers dry air; do not mist.
Temperature: Keep between 65–85°F (18–29°C). Protect from frost and extreme heat.
💡 Pro Tip: Use a gritty, well-draining cactus mix with added pumice or perlite. Variegated plants have less chlorophyll, so they grow slower and do best with bright but filtered light.
