Caring for Mammillaria gaumeri is relatively straightforward. It thrives in well-draining soil, bright sunlight, and prefers to be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. This cactus is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation and can be a captivating addition to rock gardens, succulent arrangements, or desert-themed landscapes.
