Cacti - Pincushion Cactus Mammillaria Blossfeldiana
Mammillaria blossfeldiana, commonly known as Pincushion Cactus or Fishhook Cactus, is a small and charming species of cactus belonging to the Mammillaria genus.
Key Features:
Small, Clustering Growth: This cactus forms clusters of small, cylindrical stems covered in tubercles (small bumps). The individual stems are typically 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) tall and 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) in diameter.
Showy Flowers: In the spring, Mammillaria blossfeldiana produces a ring of vibrant pink or magenta flowers around the crown of each stem. The flowers are relatively large compared to the size of the cactus, creating a stunning display.
Easy to Grow: This cactus is relatively easy to care for, making it a great choice for beginners. It prefers well-draining soil, bright light, and infrequent watering.
Ideal for Containers: Its compact size makes it well-suited for container gardening, allowing you to enjoy its colorful blooms on patios, balconies, or indoors with sufficient sunlight.
Care Tips:
Light: Provide bright light, ideally with some direct sun.
Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.
The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 80mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
