Full description and specifications

Notocactus uebelmannianus is an attractive cactus, known for its round shape and vibrant flowers. It is appreciated in cactus collections due to its distinctive appearance and relatively simple care requirements.

Notocactus uebelmannianus has a globular or slightly cylindrical shape and can reach heights of up to 15-20 cm, with a similar diameter. Its surface is dark green, covered with prominent ribs on which there are areoles from which sharp thorns grow, usually in shades of yellow or red. Flowering is one of the main attractions of this cactus, producing large, bright purple or pink flowers that appear at the top of the plant.

Care:

  1. Light: Notocactus uebelmannianus prefers direct and abundant sunlight. A sunny place, such as a window facing south or west, is ideal for this plant.
  2. Watering: The cactus must be watered regularly during the hot season, but it is crucial to let the soil dry completely between waterings. During the winter, watering must be significantly reduced to mimic natural dormancy conditions.
  3. Soil: A well-drained soil mixture is essential. Use a cactus mix or add sand and gravel to regular potting soil to improve drainage.
  4. Temperature: It develops best at normal room temperatures, but must be protected from frost. The ideal growing temperatures are between 18-24°C.
  5. Fertilization: Apply a diluted fertilizer for cacti once a month during the period of active growth (spring-summer). Avoid excessive fertilization, which can damage the plant.

Notocactus uebelmannianus is a cactus that does not require intensive care, making it ideal for cactus collectors or for those who want to add a decorative element to their home with minimal effort. With the right light, the right watering and the right temperatures, this cactus can be a durable and beautiful addition to any plant collection.
