Description:
This exemplar of globe cactus native to Mexico is very appreciated for its particular appearance. The green stem is equipped with pronounced tubercles among which develops a white and thick down, especially at the apex of the plant. Above the tubercles are the woolly areolas from which its spines emerge: the radials are thin and of bench color while the central ones are longer and darker. The beautiful flowers of M. saetigera bloom at the apex of the plant; they have purple-pink petals with a darker midline. This cactus with its graceful appearance, especially during flowering, will give a touch of delicacy to any type of environment.

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.
