Seed Details
• Quantity: 15 Seeds
• Species: Gymnocalycium friedrichii / LB2178 lineage
• Cultivar/Form: “Single Spine Fluffy”
• Growth Type: Miniature globular cactus
• Germination Level: Moderate
• Habitat/Origin: LB2178 field collection lineage from Agua Dulce, Alto Paraguay, Paraguay
Description
Gymnocalycium LB2178 “Single Spine Fluffy” is a highly unusual and collector-oriented form selected for its soft woolly areoles, reduced spine count, and dark epidermis contrast.
Unlike standard LB2178 forms that may develop multiple radiating spines, this selection is admired for its tendency to produce minimal single spines paired with exaggerated fluffy areole growth. The result is a softer, almost velvety appearance that contrasts beautifully against the deep green to dark-toned body.
The fluffy areoles become especially prominent as the plant matures, creating a star-like arrangement across the ribs while maintaining the compact geometric structure characteristic of the LB2178 lineage.
LB2178 itself is a respected field collection number associated with Gymnocalycium friedrichii from Paraguay, known for strong body texture, defined ribs, and excellent potential for unique cultivated variations including variegated, crested, and reduced-spine forms.
This “Single Spine Fluffy” expression stands out for its balance of softness and structure — combining delicate wool production with the dark, architectural body shape prized by Gymnocalycium collectors.
As a seed-grown population, each seedling may develop slight variations in spine reduction, fluff density, rib shape, and epidermis coloration, making the growing process especially rewarding over time.
