Cacti - Pincushion Cactus Nejapensis
Mammillaria nejapensis, also known as the Pincushion Cactus or Silver Arrows, is a captivating cactus species native to Mexico. This charming and unique plant is named for its distinctive globular shape and its resemblance to a pincushion, with its densely packed areoles covered in short, silvery-white spines.
Appearance:
Shape: Small, globular cactus, typically solitary but can form small clusters.
Spines: Densely packed, short, silvery-white spines radiate from the areoles, creating a beautiful, frosted appearance.
Flowers: In the spring or summer, it produces a ring of vibrant flowers in shades of pink, red, or yellow. These flowers emerge from the top of the cactus and create a stunning contrast against the greenish-gray body.
Growing Conditions:
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some direct sun, but avoid excessive exposure during the hottest hours of the day.
Soil: Well-draining cactus mix with good aeration.
Water: Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm 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.
