Product Description

Mammillaria discolor is a solitary to slightly clumping cactus with a rounded, slightly elongating stem covered in soft white radial spines and contrasting brown to reddish central spines. Native to Mexico, it thrives in arid environments and showcases beautiful pink to rose-colored flowers arranged in a ring near the top of the plant. Its subtle color contrasts and compact form, combined with its charming floral display, make it a prized species among Mammillaria collectors.
