Returns Simplified.Gymnocalycium mihanovichii Siam Ansu Daydream is a breathtaking, highly collectable Gymno cultivar celebrated for its dreamy pastel colouring, smooth dome body, and striking symmetry. Part of the famous Siam Ansu line known for producing some of the most vibrant and unusual Gymnocalyciums Daydream stands out for its soft gradient tones in shades of peach, rose, cream, lilac, and warm yellow, depending on light and season.
The rounded, spineless (or near-spineless) body is adorned with clean, defined ribs and smooth, glossy skin that appears almost airbrushed. Each specimen features a unique colour blend, often shifting from warm sunset tones to ethereal, candy-like pastels. In summer, it may produce delicate pale flowers commonly cream or soft pink adding elegance to its already enchanting presence.
Dreamy, colourful, and incredibly rare, Gymno Siam Ansu Daydream is a centrepiece cactus for advanced collectors who want the very best in ornamental Gymnocalycium breeding.
Thrives in bright, indirect to lightly filtered sunlight. Strong light enhances colour intensity, but avoid harsh, direct midday sun which can damage the delicate pastel skin. A bright windowsill, greenhouse with shade cloth, or grow-light setup is ideal.
Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out fully between waterings. Overwatering is the greatest risk for colourful and variegated Gymnos, as their modified pigments make the skin more sensitive. In winter, water only once every 46 weeks.
Temperature: Prefers 1830 C. Avoid temperatures below 10 C, especially with coloured/variegated cultivars.
Humidity: Low humidity is best. Provide airflow to prevent fungal problems.
Use a free-draining mineral cactus mix coarse sand, pumice, grit, akadama, and a small amount of cactus compost. Gymnos prefer wide, shallow pots. Repot every 23 years in spring, ensuring excellent drainage.
Feed lightly during spring and summer with a low-nitrogen cactus fertiliser once every 68 weeks. Do not fertilise in winter.
No pruning needed. Remove dried flowers or debris with a gentle brush. Keep the cactus dust-free to maintain its pastel finish.
A slow-growing cultivar reaching 812 cm across in XL form. Its pastel colour palette becomes richer and more complex as the plant matures. Mature plants may produce offsets (pups) and flower reliably in warm months.
Soft/sunken tissue: Overwatering or cold exposure.
Faded colouring: Insufficient light.
Sunburn: Too much direct, intense sunlight.
Pests: Occasionally mealybugs remove gently with alcohol or neem oil.
