Introducing the stunning Neoporteria subgibbosa, loved by collectors for its bright pink flowers! This is a species that can vary greatly in appearance depending on growing conditions and climate. Their colouring alone can vary greatly from a bright green to a deep green brown shade. Neoporteria subgibbosa has a dense covering of long spines nearly hiding the ribs and shape of the plant. These spines also range in colour from a creamy white, to brown, or black.
☀️This plant requires bright, indirect light but harsh direct sunlight needs to be avoided as this can scorch the leaves.
💧Overwatering can lead to rot, so it's best to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
〰️These plants don’t have any special requirements when it comes to humidity. Ambient is perfectly fine for these guys.
🌡️Standard room temperatures between 18-24°C are perfect
🍴Use a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
✂️This plant is mainly grown from seed.
🪴Repot every 2-3 years as needed, using a well-draining potting mix formulated for cacti and succulents.
