Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus ssp. klinkerianus ‘La Negrita’ – Rare Dark Miniature Cactus

A highly prized dwarf cactus featuring unique dark brownish-grey skin and corky spines, perfect for serious collectors.

Description Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus ssp. klinkerianus (Form ‘La Negrita’) is a rare collector's gem known for its flattened, matte skin. This specific locality form develops a stunning deep brownish-grey to blackish hue when grown in bright light.

It features distinctive short, curved spines that resemble cork or dried wood. Despite its tiny size, it produces delicate creamy-white flowers with dark mid-stripes that emerge from the woolly apex, offering a beautiful contrast.

Origin & Type This is a specific locality form native to the semi-deserts of San Luis Potosí, Mexico. Our specimens are 100% seed-grown and nursery-raised, ensuring you receive a sustainable plant without impacting endangered wild populations.

Care Guide

  • Light: Thrives in bright filtered light to full morning sun. Strong light is essential to maintain the dark skin color and compact shape.
  • Water: Water very sparingly. This plant has a thick taproot sensitive to rot; allow soil to dry completely. Keep bone dry in winter.
  • Soil: Requires a purely mineral mix. Use limestone chippings, pumice, and grit with very little organic matter.
  • Temperature: Loves the heat (20°C–35°C). Protect strictly from cold drafts and high humidity.
  • Growth Rate: Extremely slow-growing; it stays miniature for its entire life, making it a long-term companion.

Additional Details

  • Plant Size: Miniature (approx. 2–4 cm diameter); ships in a small collector's pot.
  • Indoor/Outdoor: Best for sunny windowsills, glasshouses, or controlled environments.
  • Beginner friendliness: Intermediate; requires strict watering discipline.
  • Toxicity: Non-toxic to pets.
