    Gymnocalycium mihanovichii, commonly known as the "chin cactus," is a small, spherical cactus native to Paraguay, northeastern Argentina, and eastern Bolivia. The variegated variety of this species is particularly prized for its unique and vibrant coloration.

    Key Characteristics:

    • Appearance: The variegated Gymnocalycium mihanovichii features a mix of colors, including pink, yellow, orange, red, and green. This coloration results from a lack of chlorophyll in certain areas of the cactus, leading to the distinctive hues. The cactus typically grows to about 1.5 inches (4 cm) in height and 2.5 inches (6 cm) in diameter.

    • Flowers: During the summer, this cactus produces funnel-shaped flowers that can be up to 2 inches (5 cm) long. The flowers range from pale green to brownish-yellow.

    Care Requirements:

    • Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can cause the colors to fade or lead to sunburn.

    • Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

    • Soil: Use a well-draining cactus mix to ensure proper drainage.

    • Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 68°F and 80°F (20°C to 27°C). Protect from drafts and cold temperatures.
