Plant Category:
Cactus
Plant/Product Description:
Mammillaria boscana, commonly known as Powder Puff Cactus, is a small, round cactus that is native to Mexico. It features dense clusters of white spines that create a soft, fluffy appearance, hence the name "Powder Puff." During its blooming season in the spring, it produces vibrant pink or red flowers that form a stunning contrast to its white spines. This compact cactus is perfect for containers, succulent arrangements, or as part of a desert-themed garden.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun to promote optimal growth and flowering. Can tolerate partial shade, but full sun encourages the best results.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus mix or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
- Dormancy: Mammillaria boscana 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 boscana is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
