Product Description

Mammillaria geminispina is a striking clumping cactus known for its dense, silvery-white spines that often hide its green stem entirely. Its name, meaning "twin spines," refers to the paired central spines at each areole, surrounded by radiating white radial spines. Native to central Mexico, it produces elegant pink to magenta flowers in a ring at the apex during spring and summer. Its sculptural form and snowy appearance make it a classic among collectors and an excellent addition to arid landscapes.
