Mammilaria carnea

Mammillaria carnea is a charming species of cactus known for its compact, globular shape and soft, pinkish-white spines. This slow-growing cactus features densely packed, small, cylindrical stems that form a rounded cluster, typically growing to a height of 6-8 inches. Its most distinctive feature is its delicate, light-colored spines that encircle the plant, creating a feathery appearance. In late spring to early summer, Mammillaria carnea produces vibrant, funnel-shaped flowers in shades of pink or magenta that bloom in a ring around the crown, adding a burst of color to the plant’s soft, spiny body. As a drought-tolerant species, it thrives in well-draining soil and prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Like many cacti, it requires minimal watering, making it a perfect low-maintenance plant for succulent enthusiasts. Its gentle beauty and compact size make it an ideal addition to any indoor or outdoor collection.
