Yogurt — Gymnocalycium mihanovichii Clone Profile
Yogurt is a compact own-root mihanovichii with thick, angular ribs washed in buttery yellow, green marbling, and soft pink edging.
Yogurt earns its name with a pastel palette that feels almost whipped: broad sections of creamy yellow are streaked and flecked with green, while the rib edges and tips are finished in a gentle pink blush. The body is compact and low, but the ribs rise in bold, geometric points that give the plant a crisp, sculpted silhouette rather than a soft rounded look.
This clone shows a particularly collectible contrast between sweet coloration and sharp structure. Short, fine amber spines sit lightly at the areoles, keeping the surface open so the marbling remains the main event. Seen from above, Yogurt reads as a tight star of thick triangular ribs, and in this plant the base is already producing offsets, adding another layer of interest to an already distinctive own-root presentation. Sourced from Noey in Thailand.
