Gymnocalycium saglionis - Giant Chin Cactus SH17

Gymnocalycium saglionis, commonly known as the Giant Chin Cactus, is a striking, slow-growing cactus native to northwest Argentina. It features a globular to short cylindrical shape with a dull green to blue-green body, adorned with prominent ribs and curved spines that range in color from yellowish-brown to gray as they age. This cactus can reach up to 12 inches (30 cm) in height and 15 inches (38 cm) in width, making it a substantial yet manageable addition to any collection. In late spring to early summer, it produces beautiful pale pink to white flowers, adding a delicate contrast to its rugged appearance. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it prefers well-draining soil and requires minimal watering—only when the soil is completely dry. Hardy in USDA Zones 9b to 11b, it can tolerate temperatures down to 5°F (-15°C), making it suitable for various climates. Its low-maintenance nature and unique aesthetic make it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced cactus enthusiasts.
