Gymnocalycium neuhuberi is a rounded, blue-green cactus. It has slightly curved spines that are a rich amber colour when young, before fading to cream. It produces scented, fuchsia-coloured flowers in the summer months.
Gymnocalycium neuhuberi is very easy to grow on a sunny windowsill or greenhouse. Water freely in summer and feed with a high potassium feed.
