Tephrocactus geometricus variegata, also known as the Variegated Tephrocactus, is a prized cactus among collectors for its unique appearance.

What makes it special:

• Variegation: It features stunning pink and yellow patterns on its spherical segments, caused by a genetic mutation affecting chlorophyll production.
• Geometric shape: The cactus is known for its distinctive geometric, spherical segments that resemble stacked balls.
• Rarity: It is a slow-growing plant that is difficult to propagate from seed, which adds to its exclusivity and desirability. 

Key characteristics:

• Appearance: This loosely branched cactus has small, segmented stems that are typically bluish-green but can turn dark purple in full sun.
• Growth: It is slow-growing, adding only a few segments yearly.
• The variegation is a result of a genetic mutation. 

Care information:

• Despite its rarity, it is relatively easy to care for.
