The Mammillaria Thimble Cactus is a small cactus covered in white spines. It forms clusters that spread out like a soft cushion. The parts can easily fall off and grow again. It's originally from Mexico and produces tiny, light-colored cream to pink flowers.
- Origin: Mexico
- Hardiness Zone: 9-11
- Hardiness: Tender soft succulent - cannot tolerate frost
- Recommended Light Conditions: Partial sunlight during the day
- Bloomtime: Spring through Summer
- Bloom Color: Yellow
Indoors:
- Watering: Instead of providing gradual sips of water throughout the week, give the succulents a thorough soaking until water drains from the pot's drainage holes. Empty excess water from the saucer as succulents dislike sitting in water. Allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
Outdoors:
- Summer Watering: Water the succulents every two weeks by soaking them and allowing them to dry before watering again.
- Winter Watering: Water the succulents once a month.
Technical Details for Care:
- Light Requirements: Requires bright light for most of the day or constant dappled shade.
