Description: Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatusSN|1523]]SN|1523]] is a solitary small geophytic cactus with many small spirally-arranged tubercles tipped with numerous tiny white spines in a comb like formation.
The subsp. jarmilae differs from the standard species for its bright pink-violet blooms. Except for the flowers it is identical in shape and size to the standard species.
Stem: Globular dull green, 3 cm tall, 4 cm in diameter, barely showing above the ground. Apex with short white hair; spirally-arranged tubercles.
Spines: Numerous white in a comb like formation (pectinated), 1,2 mm long.
Root: Tuberose and usually bigger than the stem itself.
Flowers: One to 5 bright pink to violet with darker magenta or reddish-brown mid-veins.
Blooming season: Blossoms are expected early in spring. Flowers can be expected on Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatusSN|1523]]SN|1523]] seedlings after perhaps two or three years if they are grown well in plant that are only 1,5 cm in diameter, while the flower is 4 cm long.
Fruit: Small tannish-green.

Cultivation and Propagation: This is a fairly easy species to cultivate. It needs a very well-drained soil. Strong sun to part sun is required, in order to develop good spinal growth. Waterings should be rather infrequent, to keep the plant compact and not become excessively elongated and unnatural in appearance. Keep dry in winter or when night temperatures remain below 10° C, it is hardy to -4°C for a short period. Assure good ventilation.
Reproduction: From seed, since the plant rarely produces plantlets or grafted.
