Mammillaria pilcayensis

Mammillaria pilcayensis is a clustering cactus species native to Mexico, known for its dense, cushion-like growth and attractive spination. It features numerous cylindrical stems covered with conical tubercles rather than ribs, each tubercle bearing clusters of white radial spines and longer, often darker central spines. These spines create a delicate, lacy appearance over the green body of the plant. In spring and early summer, Mammillaria pilcayensis produces small, funnel-shaped flowers that are typically pink to magenta, forming a circular crown near the top of each stem. This species thrives in well-draining soil and bright light, making it a favorite among collectors for its compact form, prolific offsets, and charming floral displays.
