Product Description

Mammillaria yaquensis variegated is a captivating, small cactus known for its irregular patches of yellow, cream, and green variegation across its globular stem. Native to Sonora, Mexico, this rare form combines the usual white radial spines and reddish central spines with a striking mottled coloration due to pigment mutations. In spring, it produces delicate pink flowers at the apex. Highly prized for its unpredictable patterns, this variegated beauty brings a unique, living mosaic to any rare cactus collection.
