Description:
Beautiful cactacea plant that tends to remain solitary and only when it has reached mature age can rarely start to clump. M. huitzilopochtli has initially globular dark green stem, which with growth develops up to over 10 cm in height. From small and narrow conical tubercles emerge thin spines of a beautiful glassy white which take on a combed pattern and envelop the entire plant. A feature that makes this cactus easily recognizable is the presence of fluff only in the upper part of the plant, almost crowning the apex, exactly where its bright magenta flowers bloom in mid-winter.

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.
