Instructions d'entretien

Gymnocalycium mihanovichii requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and low humidity. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Avoid overwatering, especially during its dormancy period in winter.

Sol

This cactus prefers well-draining soil, such as a sandy cactus mix. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot. A mix of sand, perlite, and a small amount of organic matter works well.

Engrais

Fertilize Gymnocalycium mihanovichii with a balanced cactus fertilizer, such as 2-7-7, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, about once a month, and avoid fertilizing during the dormancy period.

Rempotage

Repot the cactus every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Handle the plant carefully to avoid damaging its delicate roots.

Propagation

Propagate Gymnocalycium mihanovichii by grafting or by separating offsets. The best time to propagate is during the growing season. Ensure the grafting stock is healthy and compatible.

Taille

Pruning is generally not required for this cactus. However, you can remove any dead or damaged parts to maintain its appearance.

Toxicité

Gymnocalycium mihanovichii is not toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any accidental ingestion.

Supplémentaire

Ensure the plant receives adequate airflow to prevent fungal infections. Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth and exposure to sunlight.
