Mammillaria rhodantha ssp. mccartenii 3.5" Pot Live Plant

Mammillaria rhodantha ssp. mccarttenii (Hunt): A charming globe shape cactus that grows well on a windowsill. It grows 4-7 reddish central spines and 13-15 white radial spines. It blooms with a vibrant, magenta crown of flowers atop its stem. This variety is native to Mexico where it can reach 12.0" tall and 4.0" wide at maturity. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.

This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
