Dyckia tobatiensis

A terrestrial Dyckia known only from a handful of records east of Asunción around Tobatí in central Paraguay, where sandstone hills rise from the lowlands. Grow it like other lowland Paraguayan Dyckia: full sun, hot summers, a drier and cooler winter, and a fast-draining mineral mix.

Where it grows wild

Records cluster in the Tobatí hills at about 130 m; the genus there grows on sun-baked sandstone outcrops and rocky ground. Microhabitat detail for this species is not published, so this is inferred from the genus.

About 130 m at the only measured site.
