Highlights
Mammillaria zeilmanniana (Boed.): A small, globose species with a thick covering of spines and tons of flowers. This variety has lots of conical bumps (tubercles) which sprout two types of spines: thin, white spines and long, brown, hooked spines. It's known to be a prolific bloomer with a ring of pink to red (occasionally white) flowers crowning its stem. Thought by some to be a form of M. crinita. 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.
