Highlights
Mammillaria bombycina (Quehl): A charming, heavily spined miniature cactus native to Mexico. This species is covered with woolly, conical tubercles that sport 3-8 coppery, central spines and 30-64 thin, white radial spines. Mature plants can bloom in spring with small, pink flowers that crown the stem. Each stem stays under 6.0" in height and 3.0" in diameter, but they readily offset to form massive clumps. 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.
