Gardeners, are you looking for a truly one-of-a-kind addition to your plant collection? Look no further than the Mammillaria theresae, a vibrant member of the Mammillaria genus. The fan-shaped olive-green stems of this adorable cactus have a magenta-red tint. It is typically grown indoors but can also thrive outdoors in USDA zones 10–11.
This variety of Mammillaria is a well-known tiny geophytic cactus with massive pink flowers that bloom from spring to summer. Despite being extremely beautiful, the crested form (Mammillaria theresae f. cristata) is still very rare and prized by collectors for its distinctive characteristics. It is a diminutive, slowly expanding crested cactus that gradually grows into tangled clusters up to 7 inches in diameter.
When it comes to choosing the right soil for your adorable Mammillaria cacti plant, you need to be careful! Use well-drained potting mix soil for healthy growth. It also prefers full sun for at least 4-6 hours daily, with minimal watering. Additionally, it needs fertilizers once a year in the spring for better growth of the plant.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to add something truly exceptional to your home or garden. Order your very own Mammillaria theresae today!
