Rare Blossfeldia is a solitary or clumping miniature cactus, with no rib and no spines. It is the smallest of all cacti and one of the most priced by impassioned. This plant is rarely seen on its own roots in cultivation for any length of time. It is a highly specialized species with a unique growth habit. Its minuscule stems during the dry season, lose almost all of their water and shrink, becoming almost completely dry and flattened on the rocks where it lives.
Flowers are white or pinkish (yellow) diurnal, 6-15 mm long, and 5-7 mm diameter from late spring to early summer.
All of the plants may be shipped bare root.
Some shade with ample airflow is preferred for the best appearance.
Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch, then let drain completely. Reduce watering in the winter.
Grow it in a particularly draining substratum, as it is very sensitive to rottenness when in presence of humidity and low temperatures and let the soil dry out between waterings.
They need to be kept in a cool place during winter rest and can tolerate sporadic frost if kept on the dry side prior to, and during, cold weather with little danger of being killed (Frost Tolerance: At least -10°C). However, in cultivation, it is better not to expose it to temperatures lower than 5° C, even if in an aerated and protected location. It tends to rot in winter during the resting phase if kept wet. In the rest period no high atmospheric humidity.
