Mammillaria Phitauriana

Mammillaria phitauiana is a small, globular cactus species native to Mexico, known for its dense arrangement of tubercles (small, rounded projections) and short, white radial spines. It forms clusters of compact, spherical stems that are often covered in fine spines, giving it a woolly appearance. In spring and summer, it produces bright pink or magenta flowers that form a ring around the top of the cactus, adding ornamental value. Like many Mammillaria species, it is popular among cactus collectors and thrives in well-drained soil with minimal watering, making it ideal for desert and succulent gardens.
