Start in a pot that is drilled so it will not hold water. Use cactus soil that drains and include sand or perlite to assist the water drain.

Plant the cactus and press it gently into the soil. Do not plant it too deeply so that it will rot. Let the cactus settle first before watering.

Gymnocalycium spegazzinii prefers bright, indirect light. Place it in front of a sunny window or where it can receive at least six hours of light daily.

Water only once the soil gets dry. Drying out the soil is healthier than making the soil water-logged because watering too much will cause the roots to rot. Water less throughout winter.

Use a warm temperature between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Keep it out of cold draughts or frost because harshly cold temperatures will kill off the cactus.

Fertilize your cactus monthly when it is actively growing (spring and summer) with a weak cactus fertilizer. Fertilize no more than once a month, and never during the winter when it is dormant.

If the cactus has outgrown its pot, repot it into a slightly larger pot with new potting soil. Be careful handling it because its spines are sharp.

Inspect for spider mite and mealybug infestation. If you notice any, wipe them off with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Dry the plant thoroughly to prevent fungal infection.

With good care, Gymnocalycium spegazzinii will flower and bloom wonderfully. Have fun growing this strange cactus!
