Mammillaria marksiana / ‘Cabeza de Viejo’

Mammillaria marksiana is a beautiful small cactus with flattened globose stems with pyramidal tubercles woolly in the axils and tipped with white-felted areoles that bear clusters of golden yellow to brown spines.

The stems can become slightly column-shaped with age and produce offsets to form a clump. The stems are light green, turning yellowish in bright light.

*Pot size 5.5cm. Non toxic to pets (but spiky).*

Light:

These guys thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Place them near a sunny window or in a spot with filtered sunlight to ensure their health and vibrant growth.

Watering:

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. These cacti are drought-tolerant and prefer infrequent but thorough watering. During the growing season (spring and summer), water sparingly, and reduce watering in the dormant season (fall and winter).

Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves. Collections or ‘mixed’ listings for plants will be selected dependant on availability and carefully hand-picked to ensure their quality.
