Weingartia hediniana

A globular Bolivian cactus, sometimes treated as part of Weingartia lanata, from the dry inter-Andean valleys of central Bolivia. Like the rest of the genus, it wants strong sun, cool nights, and a dry, cool winter rest followed by summer watering.

Where it grows wild

Grows on rocky, grassy or scrubby slopes in seasonally dry Andean valleys, as the genus does generally. No species-specific habitat notes were found.

The genus grows at about 1,600–3,600 m. The single climate point at about 200 m in the Santa Cruz lowlands is almost certainly wrong for this plant.
