Care Instructions:
Caring for your Gymnocalcium Mihanovichii Variegated Cactus is a rewarding experience, and we're here to guide you through it. Follow these care instructions to ensure its optimal growth and vibrant appearance:

Initial Care: Prior to shipping, the cacti will be removed from its pot and its roots will be lightly trimmed and allowed to dry slightly, to prevent potential health issues in shipping. It will then be carefully packaged and sent to you with first class shipping. Once received, please remove it from the package and prepare your soil. It should be moist and well draining. It can help to make an indent in the soil to carefully place the roots inside of, and gently cover any exposed root. Do not disturb as it settles it's roots into the soil. When the soil surface is dry, gently water the plant by placing it's pot or container in a bowl of water so it can suck up the water from below.

Lighting: Place your cactus in a bright location where it receives indirect sunlight for around 4 to 6 hours each day. Avoid exposing it to intense, direct sunlight as it may scorch the delicate variegated leaves.

Temperature: Gymnocalcium Mihanovichii Variegated Cactus thrives in warm temperatures ranging from 70°F to 85°F (21°C to 29°C) during the day. It appreciates cooler temperatures around 50°F to 60°F (10°C to 15°C) during the night.

Watering: This cactus requires moderate watering. Allow the soil to dry out between watering sessions, ensuring it's completely dry before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so be cautious and avoid waterlogged conditions.

Soil and Potting: Choose a well-draining cactus mix or create a blend using potting soil, perlite, and coarse sand. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.

Fertilization: Feed your Gymnocalcium Mihanovichii Variegated Cactus with a diluted, balanced cactus fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote healthy growth. Follow the package instructions for proper dosage.

Humidity: This cactus variety prefers low to moderate humidity levels. Avoid placing it in excessively humid environments, as it may be prone to rot or fungal diseases.

Pruning and Maintenance: Gymnocalcium Mihanovichii Variegated Cactus usually maintains its compact shape naturally. However, you can trim off any damaged or dried-up parts using clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears. Handle it with care to avoid the spines.
