Mammillaria compressa f. variegated (Variegated)

It is a spherical cactus, which with growth assumes a "massive" shape, due to the proliferation of its cylindrical club-shaped stems. The epidermis is bright green, embellished with yellow variegations, which make each specimen truly unique, therefore highly appreciated by cactus collectors. Its tubercles, between which a thick down is formed, are very pronounced, are located close to each other, are quite compact (hence the name 'compressa'). Its spines, which vary in color from chalk white to brown, are very small and short. In winter and spring, small bell-shaped flowers bloom, which vary in color from purplish-pink to deep red.
