Product Description

Mammillaria microcarpa SB147 is a compact, spherical cactus with dense clusters of white to yellowish radial spines and few dark central spines, forming a delicate, textured surface. Native to the Sonoran Desert, it thrives in arid conditions. The plant produces vivid magenta to rose-colored flowers that circle the crown, creating a brilliant floral halo in late spring to summer. Its globose body, fine tuberculation, and striking spination make it a prized gem for collectors.
