Cacti Weingartia

Weingartia – A Captivating Cactus Collection from the High Andes

Discover the unique charm of Weingartia, a group of miniature to small cacti native to the rugged, high-altitude regions of Bolivia and Argentina. Praised by collectors for their compact size, vibrant spines, and striking blooms, these cacti make a bold statement, even in the smallest of spaces.

Why Collectors Love Weingartia:

Compact & Sculptural Form
Weingartia cacti are small, rounded or cylindrical plants, typically growing under 15 cm (6 inches) tall. They can be solitary or form tight clumps, making them ideal for windowsills, shelves, or miniature gardens.

Striking Spines
Each stem is adorned with multiple ribs and areoles, from which emerge spines of various shapes and colors. From fine and short to long, hooked, or feathery, these spines create a beautiful textural contrast that varies across different species.

Brilliant Blooms
When in bloom, Weingartia puts on an extraordinary floral display. Large, funnel-shaped flowers in shades of yellow, orange, red, pink, white, and bi-colored forms emerge, often seeming oversized compared to the plant’s small body.

Easy Care, Big Impact:

• Light: Thrives in bright light, with some afternoon shade in particularly hot climates.

• Water: Water moderately during spring and summer, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

• Soil: Use well-draining cactus or succulent soil to promote healthy growth.

• Growth: Slow-growing and low-maintenance, making it ideal for containers and small garden setups.

Perfect For:

• Succulent and Cactus Collectors – A must-have for your collection

• Windowsill or Compact Displays – Ideal for small spaces

• Rock Gardens – Adds texture and vibrant color

• Low-Maintenance Plant Lovers – A striking, easy-care addition
