Product Description

Mammillaria polythele is a distinctive cactus species native to Guanajuato, Mexico. This succulent has a cylindrical to slightly columnar shape, reaching up to 30 cm in height and 10 cm in diameter. Its stem is covered in rounded tubercles, each bearing clusters of fine, white spines and one to four longer central spines. In the summer, it blooms with beautiful magenta flowers that encircle the plant's top, followed by red, elongated fruits. The neat arrangement of tubercles and vivid flowers make it a popular choice for cactus enthusiasts.
