Product Description

Mammillaria picta is a compact, solitary to clumping cactus distinguished by its prominent, conical tubercles and soft, white radial spines that create a delicate, fuzzy appearance. This Mexican native from the Sierra Madre Occidental produces beautiful magenta to deep pink flowers, forming a ring at the apex during the spring bloom. Its body can take on a bluish-green hue, adding visual depth and character. A true gem for lovers of finely detailed cacti with subtle coloration and intricate form.
