Plant/Product Description:
Mammillaria gracilis fragilis, also known as Thimble Cactus, is a small, spherical cactus that features dense clusters of tiny, white spines that create a soft, thimble-like appearance. The plant is slow-growing and compact, making it perfect for small containers, cactus collections, or rock gardens. In spring, it produces small, tubular flowers in pink, yellow, or red, adding a splash of color to its spiny form.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate 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 prevent root rot.
- Soil: Requires well-draining cactus 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 gracilis fragilis is dormant in the winter, requiring minimal water during this period.
- Propagation: Can be propagated by offsets.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.

Mammillaria gracilis fragilis is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
