Mammillaria plumosa
Mammillaria plumosa, commonly known as the Feather Cactus, is a beautiful and unusual cactus covered in masses of soft, white, feather-like spines that give it an almost fluffy appearance. Despite its delicate look, it is a hardy succulent that forms attractive clusters over time, creating a striking display with exceptional texture.
Ideal for bright windowsills, conservatories, or sunny shelves, this compact cactus brings a sculptural quality to indoor spaces and looks particularly effective when displayed in decorative pots. Mature plants may also produce rings of small creamy-white to pale pink flowers during the cooler months.
- Other names: Feather Cactus
- Useful to know: Non-toxic - safe around pets and children
- Eventual height: 10-15cm (forming clumps up to 30cm wide)
