Mammillaria lenta

Cactacea characterized by very slow growth, so much to give the name to the species. It has a globose body, slightly depressed at the apex, which does not reach remarkable dimensions but fascinates especially for the thick blanket of whitish spines that completely wrap the dark green stem: its quills, in fact, are rather long and soft, almost like a rigid down that is arranged around the stem in a circular sense. At the end of spring the charm and whiteness of the cactus will increase even more thanks to delicate daisies, white with a bright yellow center, which will make your plant even more elegant and refined: Your patience in waiting for your growth will definitely pay off!
