Cactus Frailea castanea Seeds (Frailea castanea, Castanea asteroides var. backebergii)
General Description:
Frailea castanea, also known as Chestnut Cactus, is a rare and miniature cactus species native to the arid regions of South America. This unique cactus is prized for its dark brown to chestnut-colored body and occasional yellow flowers. Due to its compact size and fascinating appearance, it is a must-have for collectors and succulent enthusiasts.
Plant Characteristics:
Frailea castanea grows as a small, globular cactus, reaching only 2–5 cm in diameter. Its body is dark brown to greenish-brown with pronounced ribs and tiny spines. Flowers are bright yellow, but they often self-pollinate without opening fully, producing seeds directly.
Cultivation Recommendations:
• Soil: Use a well-drained cactus mix with added sand or grit.
• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct midday sun.
• Watering: Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Reduce watering in winter dormancy.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm climates but can tolerate mild frost (down to -5°C) if kept dry.
• Germination: Sow seeds on the surface of moist soil. Cover lightly and maintain a temperature of 70–85°F (21–29°C). Germination typically occurs in 1–3 weeks.
Uses and Benefits:
Frailea castanea is perfect for small spaces, rock gardens, and windowsill displays. Its unique dark body and compact size make it highly decorative and easy to maintain.

Each packet contains premium-quality Frailea castanea seeds (Castanea asteroides var. backebergii), carefully selected for high germination.
