Dyckia minarum



Dyckia minarum comes from Minas Gerais as its Latin name indicates.
It seems every Dyckia species has its own weirdness...



The strangeness this species presents is the absolutely hate it shows off regarding to transplantation.
When you transplant a Dyckia in benefits from this and gain new vigor. Dyckias are fond of transplanting except this one here. When it doesn´t perish it takes ages and ages to recover.
So do not touch the root system here when transplanting . Cut or break the vase and to the transplantation in a very "mild" way... and do it when it is absolutely necessary.
