Mammillaria bocasana 'The Freak' is an extraordinary mutated cultivar that stands out with its unpredictable and intriguing growth patterns, making each plant a one-of-a-kind. Unlike the typical globular form of Mammillaria bocasana, 'The Freak' exhibits irregular formations, clusters of tubercles, and woolly areoles that create a unique appearance.
Care Tips
Light: Provide your 'The Freak' with bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, intense afternoon sun can cause sunburn.
Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water moderately during the growing season (spring and summer) and reduce watering in autumn and winter.
Humidity: This cactus prefers average household humidity levels and does not require any special humidity considerations.
Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 18-24°C (64-75°F) for optimal growth. Protect from frost during winter.
Fertiliser: Feed your 'The Freak' with a balanced cactus fertiliser once a month during the growing season.
Potting: Use a well-draining cactus and succulent potting mix. Repot every 2-3 years in spring, choosing a slightly larger container each time.
Propagation: Propagate through offsets or pups that occasionally form at the base of the plant. Allow the offsets to dry and callus before planting in well-draining soil.
