Description:
This subspecies consists of an intense green spherical stem, equipped with small tubercles, at the apex of which white star-shaped down protrudes (more sparse than the classic form of Mammillaria bocasana). From the center of each areola, long hooked spines of a reddish-brown color branch off.

Description:

Mammillaria bocasana is known also as the "Powder Puff Cactus" for its silky white hairs, that cover it entirely, which makes it look like a cotton ball. Generally, its spherical stems grow in clusters, and brownish hooked spines sprout at the ends of its tubercles. In late spring /summer it blooms with funnel-shaped flowers of different colors, varying from cream-white to pink.

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.
