Information

The Strombocactus Disciformis occurs naturally in Mexico. In the states of Hildago and Gyanajuato, 19 different growing sites are known. Because the Strombocactus Disciformis is very popular among collectors, the plants are unfortunately regularly stolen in the wild. In nature, the Strombocactus Disciformis often grows between crevices in rock slopes. During long periods of drought, the Strombocactus Disciformis shrinks considerably and partly withdraws into the ground.

Growing Strombocactus Disciformis is very difficult in the beginning. This cactus is mainly grown from seed. It is very difficult to get the seedlings to survive their first year. They are very sensitive to too much or too little moisture. Once they have completed their first year, they suddenly become much easier plants and you can simply care for them like any other cactus.

The Strombocactus Disciformis is green-blue in color and has small light spines. A small layer of wool grows on the head of this cactus. It is a very slow grower and will only grow a few centimeters in a good year. Despite its slow growth, the Strombocactus Disciformis blooms profusely. This cactus can already bloom when it is 2 cm in diameter. The flowers appear in our country at the beginning of spring. They are white-yellow in color and can grow up to 3.5 cm in size. If the Strombocactus Disciformis is happy with you, it will produce flowers several times during the spring and summer.
