These easy-care round little cacti have a bubbly look, sometimes covered with long spines and sometimes almost none. They appreciate a spot with lots of light but not too much hot direct sun - great for indoor growing!
They're a great beginner cactus, and often pop out a surprise flower : usually white or pale pink - again like the spines, it's variable. Which means your gym ball is likely to be one of a kind!
