Mammillaria magnifica f. variegated (Variegated)

The variegated form of this cactaceae presents the typical yellow zones in the exact points where the chlorophyll is absent; such zones will never be identical from one plant to another, thus making each exemplar absolutely unique and, for this reason, very sought after by collectors. M. magnifica f. variegated is a fast-growing cactus with cylindrical stems and agglomerates. It has pyramidal tubercles with woolly areoles from which emerge thin radial thorns, combed, whitish and hooked central thorns of different shades ranging from yellow to dark brown. It generates beautiful purple-red flowers arranged in a crown.
