Mammillaria plumosa
Attractive species with soft feather-like spines and cream flowers over the summer months.
Best in pots. Heads will grow 8 to 10cm across and product offsets when mature.
Position - Best under protected partially shaded positions outdoors. Indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape and become more open in growth.
Watering - Can be watered all year round and grow fastest in the warmer months. Plants will survive without water for very long periods and remain compact when dry.
Feeding - 25% of recommended dosage monthly in growing period. The less fertiliser, the better the shape of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce larger plants with less colour.
Repotting - Can be left to overgrow their pots or repotted in the warmer months in almost any well-drained potting mix.
