Gymnocalycium monvillei is a spectacular cactus species, native to the mountains and plateaus of Argentina, appreciated by collectors for its perfectly globular shape and curved spines arranged in symmetrical crowns. The dark green surface of the plant, often with blue or gray reflections, creates a beautiful contrast with the large, delicate white-pink flowers that appear in summer and last several days.
It is a compact, hardy, and very decorative plant, ideal both for cactus collections and for the minimalist decor of offices or bright spaces.
