Mammillaria candida 'The Snowball Cactus'
Mammillaria candida The Snowball Cactus
Popular species with heads 10cm to 12cm across eventually forming numerous offsets.
Very slow growing, in late winter cream flowers appear in a ring in the upper part of the plant.
Position - under protected partially shaded positions outdoors. Indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape and colour.
Flowering will only occur in good light.
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 food, the better the shape of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can reduce flowering period.
Repotting - can be left to overgrow their pots, or repotted in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.
