Description:
It is a miniature cactacea, very small but particular and refined at the same time; its globular stem does not exceed two centimeters in diameter, but tends to cluster, creating a beautiful multi-headed cushion. It is much loved for its unusual very short, soft and truly candid white spines, which, arranged in a corolla, form small white balls contrasting with the purplish color of the stems. Even the flowers, in spring, contribute to making this plant so extravagant: they are very large compared to the other species of the Mammillaria genus, of a typical magenta color that fades towards the white throat: the colors that extraordinarily underline the beauty both of the stem and the spines.

Plant care:
It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 5 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce watering to once every two months in autumn, and to suspend it completely in winter.
The best soil is a well-draining one, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice, sand or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
