The Puna bonnieae f. inermis is a special dwarf cactus that you don't often encounter. This cactus does not occur in nature but was created by breeding in culture. In nature, the Puna bonnieae grows in harsh conditions at altitudes of up to 2000 meters between rocky soil. The sun is intense here and there is little rain. The Puna bonnieae has adapted well to these conditions. It has a thick taproot in which it can store a lot of water. This way she can survive long periods without rain. This cactus also withdraws almost completely into the earth during a dry period. This way the cactus stays slightly cooler and there is less surface area exposed to the sun. The latter ensures less evaporation of moisture from the cactus. These properties are also present in the Puna bonnieae f. inermis present. The only thing different with this variant is that this cactus has almost no spines. The Puna bonnieae is a slow grower. This cactus makes all small round balls. Ultimately, the Puna bonnieae grows into a small cluster of 12-15 cm in diameter.

When the Puna bonnieae f. once she has a good time, she can start to bloom. The flowering of the Puna bonnieae f. inermis is really beautiful. The small bulbs of this cactus produce larger 5-6 cm pink-white flowers. The flowers often turn light yellow on the last day they bloom. The Puna bonnieae can bloom if it is happy with you. Is your plant not blooming after years? Then it can help to let it hibernate in a cold and light place, place it in a sunny spot in the spring and water it with ice-cold water the first time. In nature, the first water they get in the spring is often cold due to meltwater from the mountains.
