Mammillaria Spinosissima

Mammillaria zeilmanniana is one of the most beautiful mammillaria. It is an exception from the general rule that the red-flowered cactus of this genus do not bloom until they are several years old. It produces a profusion of deep carmine-red flowers while still quite young and small.

Light: Mammillaria thrives well in bright indirect light. Direct sunlight can be fine.

Water: Follow drying out in between watering. Excess water can be detrimental.

Soil: The Soil need to be fertile and well drained where there is no water logging. Fertile soil rich in humus can be prepared.
