Product Details

Highlights

Powder Puff Cactus (Mammillaria bocasana) (Poselger): Miniature, globose cactus from Mexico with copper spines and a fluffy coating of white, cottony hair. It grows easily and produces many offshoots that can be transplanted or left to cluster and mound. Expect dependable blooms in the form of a ring of white to pink flowers crowning each stem. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.

This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
