Lobivia prestoana

Lobivia prestoana is a charming, small cactus species native to the high-altitude regions of Bolivia, where it thrives in rocky, well-drained soils. It typically forms solitary or clustered globular stems with pronounced ribs and tubercles, each bearing short, stout spines that vary in color from pale to dark brown. What makes Lobivia prestoana especially desirable among collectors is its vibrant, funnel-shaped flowers that bloom in a range of colors—most commonly brilliant reds, oranges, or pinks—often larger than the cactus body itself. These flowers usually appear in late spring to early summer and open during the day. Adapted to bright light and cooler nighttime temperatures, this species is easy to grow in containers with proper drainage and minimal water during winter dormancy. Its compact size and dramatic blooms make it a standout in any succulent or alpine plant collection.
