Extremely diminutive, reaching only up to 3 cm in height and 2 to 2.5 cm in diameter.
Shortly columnar or subglobose, featuring a glossy dark-purple to dark-brown skin.
Very thin, short (1.5–3 mm), and ginger to reddish-brown in color, offering a striking contrast against the dark body.
Forms a heavy, thick central taproot used to store water underground.
Thrives in full sun to bright, indirect sunlight. Full sun exposure is mandatory if you want the body to retain its deep purple-chocolate color and force the flowers open.
Provide moderate watering during the summer growth season, allowing the soil mix to dry out completely between sessions.
