Melocactus matanzanus SEEDS

Melocactus matanzanus seeds of one of the most distinctive and collectible cacti, immediately recognizable by its round, glossy green body crowned with a striking red cephalium—a woolly, bristle-covered structure from which vivid pink flowers emerge. This unique growth gives it an exotic, almost alien look that makes it a favorite among cactus enthusiasts. The plant stays relatively small, rarely exceeding 12 cm in diameter, making it ideal for container gardens or sunny windowsills.

While many cacti take years to show their signature traits, Melocactus matanzanus develops its cephalium earlier than most, offering visual drama even in younger plants. The ribs are neatly arranged, each lined with short, white to brownish spines that contrast beautifully with the rich green body. As it matures, the cephalium expands upward, becoming increasingly woolly and crowned with tiny but vibrant pink blooms in cycles throughout the year.
