Turbinicarpus Schwartzii

Post by Jura »

Just wanted to show off my newest addition, got this as a birthday present from my partner ( I'm blessed with his patience). Even though he is cursing at my never ending prancing around cacti and rolling the eyes when I'm speaking about growth rates,flowers and pests, he still managed to muster this beauty from ebay. Its 30 years old ( same age as I am) so its extra special 😊

There's something about the spines on these Turbinicarpus that I find particularly appealing. Looks like your plant is going to reward you with flowers soon, which is nice 👍

Yeah, the spines are particularly gnarly at the bottom, I nearly wanted to pot it up a little higher so they could be more on display 😅
