Mammillaria prolifera Seeds (Mammillaria prolifera)
General Description
Mammillaria prolifera, commonly known as the Texas Nipple Cactus or Baby Pincushion Cactus, is a charming and fast-growing cactus species native to Mexico and the southern United States. It is loved for its small, rounded stems covered in white spines and fine hair, often forming clumps. In spring and summer, it produces small cream to yellow flowers followed by bright red berries.
Plant Characteristics
Mammillaria prolifera grows up to 5–7 cm in height and forms clusters of many stems. Each stem is covered with dense, radial white spines, giving it a soft, fluffy appearance. The cream or pale yellow flowers are followed by edible red fruits that remain for an extended period, adding visual interest.
Cultivation Recommendations
Soil: Use well-drained cactus or sandy soil mix.
Light: Prefers bright light or full sun. Indoors, place near a sunny window.
Watering: Water moderately during the growing season. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Reduce watering during winter dormancy.
Temperature: Thrives in warm climates and can tolerate light frost down to -2°C if kept dry.
Germination: Sow seeds on the surface of moist, well-drained soil. Cover lightly and maintain a temperature of 70–80°F (21–27°C). Germination occurs within 2–4 weeks.
