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.
Good growing
