Description:
It is one of the most appreciated and sought after Mammillaria ever, as well as one of the most particular: with its really small size, it is a real miniature jewel! It is a globular cactus of about 2 centimeters in diameter. Its epidermis of a beautiful dark and intense green is equipped with pyramidal tubercles and well detached from the body, at the apex of which the real strong point of this plant is shown: from small white and rounded areolas emerge wonderful white thorns arranged in a radial pattern, short and slightly curved towards the body. The appearance of Mammillaria hernandezii changes considerably and unexpectedly in autumn and winter, when its whiteness is interrupted by bright red flowers, sometimes larger than the same stem! This cactacea, with its so particular thorns, at first sight seems to be covered with many small white flowers: so small, but with a really great charm!

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.
