Notocactus Haselbergii (Brasilicactus) - dwarf cactus with large flowers

Notocactus haselbergii has a globular or slightly elongated shape and can grow up to 15 cm in height. The surface of the cactus is covered with sharp spines, arranged in areoles from which both radial and central spines grow. The spines are usually yellow or red. Flowering is one of the main attractions of this cactus, producing large flowers, usually red or orange, which stand out vividly against the dark green body of the plant.

Care:

1. Light: Notocactus haselbergii prefers direct sunlight. A sunny spot, such as a south-facing window, is ideal for this plant.
2. Watering: The cactus should be watered regularly during the warm season, but it is important to let the soil dry out completely between waterings. During winter, watering should be significantly reduced to mimic natural rest conditions.
3. Soil: A well-drained soil mix is essential. Use a cactus mix or add sand and gravel to regular potting soil to improve drainage.
4. Temperature: The plant does well at usual indoor temperatures but must be protected from frost. Ideal growing temperatures are between 18-24°C.
5. Fertilizing: Apply a diluted fertilizer for cacti once a month during the active growing period (spring-summer). Avoid over-fertilizing, which can harm the plant.

Therefore, Notocactus haselbergii is relatively easy to care for, requiring good light exposure and a controlled watering regime. It is an excellent choice for cactus collectors and can add a splash of color and interesting shape to any plant collection.
