Gymnocalycium "Chin Cactus"

Hardiness Level: The Gymnocalycium "Chin Cactus" is generally rated as hardy in USDA Zones 9 to 11. This means it can tolerate temperatures as low as 20°F (-6°C), making it suitable for indoor growing or warm climates. However, it’s essential to protect it from frost and ensure proper drainage, as excess moisture can lead to root rot.

Growing Conditions

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight, making it an ideal choice for windowsills or well-lit rooms.

Watering Needs: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season (spring and summer), water sparingly, while reducing watering in the dormant fall and winter months.

Soil Preferences: Use a well-draining cactus mix or create your own by combining potting soil with sand or perlite to ensure optimal drainage.
