Ball cactus/Mammillaria Cactus

Product Description

• Winter rest: It enters a dormancy period in the winter, during which it needs almost no water and cooler temperatures.
• Propagates easily: Older plants produce small offsets or “pups” at the base, which can be easily detached to grow new plants.
• Vulnerable to overwatering: Its number one enemy is root rot, which happens quickly if the plant sits in soggy, wet soil.
• Defensive spines: The sharp spikes covering its body are modified leaves designed to protect it from animals and reduce water loss.
• Compact size: It naturally stays small and compact, making it an excellent windowsill plant that won’t outgrow its space quickly.
