This cactus typically grows to about 3-6 centimeters in diameter and features ribs covered with small tubercles and spines.

In cultivation, Gymnocalycium prochazkianum is favored for its compact size and attractive flowers, making it suitable for small spaces such as windowsills, terrariums, or rock gardens. It requires well-draining soil, ample sunlight, and infrequent watering to thrive. Like many cacti, it is drought-tolerant and should be allowed to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

Overall, Gymnocalycium prochazkianum is a charming and relatively low-maintenance cactus that adds beauty and interest to succulent collections and gardens with its unique appearance and delicate flowers.
