Mila caespitosa SEEDS

Mila caespitosa is a charming and distinctive species of cactus native to the high altitudes of the Andean region in South America, particularly in Peru. This small, clumping cactus is known for its compact, mound-forming growth habit, typically producing dense clusters of individual stems.

Each stem of Mila caespitosa is cylindrical, reaching up to 6-10 cm in height and about 2-3 cm in diameter. The cactus is covered with small, closely spaced areoles from which emerge short, white to yellowish spines. These spines are evenly distributed across the surface, giving the plant a fuzzy appearance and a texture that is less harsh than many other spiny cacti.

A notable feature of Mila caespitosa is its blooming habit. The cactus produces attractive, funnel-shaped flowers that are usually bright pink or purple, creating a striking contrast with its green stems. These flowers generally appear in the spring or summer and are quite large in relation to the size of the plant, adding to its ornamental appeal.

Mila caespitosa is a popular species among cactus enthusiasts and collectors due to its unique appearance and relatively easy care. It thrives in well-draining soil, requires moderate watering (with reduced watering in winter), and prefers bright, indirect light. Its small size and clumping nature make it an ideal choice for rock gardens, container gardens, and as part of a mixed cactus and succulent display. This species is particularly valued for its ability to add texture and color to a collection, making it a delightful addition to any indoor or outdoor plant arrangement.
