This is totally unknow Dyckia native to the west of Mato Grosso close to the Bolivian border.

It is a white one and this is a young one.

It is by now the most difficult Dyckia to be maintained under cultivation here in Joinville way down south from where it lives in nature. I still did not find out what are its requirements, its peculiarities.

Here it gets deformed, dies easily and does not negotiate with me.

The scales are the tiniest I´ve seen. The plants hates cold and rain, this is a lethal cocktail to the plant.

It bloomed and set seeds but  did not regained its  beauty.
