Mammillaria ernestii
Mammillaria ernestii is a striking species of cactus native to Mexico, known for its bold, architectural form and vibrant flowers. This species belongs to the Mammillaria genus, which is renowned for its compact, spiny cacti often cultivated for their ornamental appeal.
Key Characteristics:
- Growth Form: Typically grows in a cylindrical or columnar shape, forming clusters over time. Its dense spines range from white to golden-yellow, providing a striking contrast against the green body
- Flowers: Small, funnel-shaped flowers appear near the top of the plant, usually in shades of pink or magenta. These blooms often form a ring-like arrangement, adding to its visual appeal
- Habitat: Native to arid, rocky environments, it is well-adapted to dry conditions and thrives in gritty, well-draining soil
Care Tips:
- Light: Thrives in bright, direct sunlight. If grown indoors, place it in the sunniest spot available
- Watering: Requires infrequent watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during the dormant winter period
- Temperature: Prefers warm conditions and can tolerate heat. Protect from frost, maintaining temperatures above 10°C (50°F)
- Humidity: Low humidity is ideal, reflecting its natural arid habitat. Ensure good air circulation around the plant
