nic Nic's Cactus 'Ruby Ball' x 1
Gymnocalycium mihanovichii var. Hibotan

Purchased from Frosts Garden Centre (Frilford, Oxfordshire) on the 29th Sept 2007 – now currently sitting on my desk at Folia H.Q.

Some care instructions I found from somewhere or other:

Light Requirement for Ruby Ball Cactus: Full Sun to Bright Light
Water Requirement for Ruby Ball Cactus: Drench, Let Dry
Humidity for Ruby Ball Cactus: Average Home
Temperature for Ruby Ball Cactus: House to Cool
Fertilizer for Ruby Ball Cactus: High Phosphorus
Potting Mix for Ruby Ball Cactus: Cactus

I particularily like the decorative use criteria of “table” – well, being on my desk I have that one sorted then!

    Bluepenguin: They are really pretty aren’t they! There is a couple of new little star shaped growths on the red part of the cactus, but apart from that it’s basically the same size as the day I bought it.
