Bare Root Shipped

The Mammillaria pectinifera and Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus f. rubriflorus are rare and highly sought-after members of the cactus family Cactaceae, native to Mexico. This particular specimen combines the delicate, radial spines and soft, rounded body of Mammillaria with the vivid magenta-pink flowers of the Turbinicarpus rubriflorus form. Its compact size makes it ideal for windowsills, small gardens, or as a centerpiece in a cactus collection. A true gem for collectors, it blooms with vibrant, eye-catching flowers that contrast beautifully with its unique spine arrangement.

Care Guide

• Light: Needs bright, direct sunlight for at least 4–6 hours a day. A south-facing window or strong grow lights work well.

• Watering: Follow a “soak and dry” method — water deeply, then allow soil to dry completely before watering again. Reduce watering significantly in winter.

• Soil: Use a gritty, well-draining cactus/succulent mix, preferably with added pumice or coarse sand.

• Temperature: Thrives in 20–35°C, avoid prolonged exposure below 10°C. Keep dry during cold months.

• Fertilizer: Apply diluted cactus fertilizer once a month during the active growing season (spring–summer).

• Dormancy: In winter, keep in a cool, bright, and dry environment to mimic natural conditions and encourage blooming in spring.
