The variegated form of Gymnocalycium mihanovichii displays a mix of colors, often including shades of green, yellow, and white. The variegation can manifest as stripes or patches on the surface of the cactus. The variegated form of Gymnocalycium mihanovichii is highly valued among cactus enthusiasts for its ornamental appeal. The unique color patterns make it a sought-after addition to succulent collections. Variegated plants often have different care requirements compared to non-variegated counterparts. The portions of the plant with less chlorophyll (white or yellow areas) may be less efficient in photosynthesis, so providing adequate light is crucial.
