Turbinicarpus valdezianus, SB 1468 (10 seeds)

Turbinicarpus valdezianus, SB 1468, Ramos Arispe, Coahuila, Mexico.

This is a beautiful little Turbinicarpus, covered in dense, white feather-like spines. It's a slow growing species which remains small. The species flowers already in April-May and is often one of the first to flower in the greenhouse. The flowers are pink with a darker pink midstripe on the petals.

We recommend a mineral soil and a deep pot to accommodate the large tap root. It is not a particularly difficult species, but can be sensitive to overwatering.

10 seeds per packet. The seeds germinate well under normal conditions.
