Plant/Product Description:
Mammillaria mystax, commonly known as the Mexican Pincushion Cactus or simply Mammillaria Mystax, is a small, spherical cactus that features dense clusters of soft, white spines and attractive pink or red flowers in the spring. This cactus is native to Mexico and is known for its compact size and striking appearance. The plant's spines form a pincushion-like effect around the cactus, creating a unique texture. Mammillaria mystax is an excellent choice for small containers, cactus collections, or as part of a desert-themed garden.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate some partial shade. Full sun encourages the best growth and flower production.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to avoid root rot.
- Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Protect from freezing temperatures as it is not frost-tolerant.
- Dormancy: Mammillaria mystax is dormant in the winter, requiring minimal water during this period.
- Propagation: Can be propagated by offsets or seeds.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.
Toxicity:
Mammillaria mystax is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
