A small, globular cactus with clustered stems covered in dense white and brown spines, producing delicate pink flowers when mature. Mammillaria yucatanensis is perfect for succulent collections, rock gardens, and indoor pots, offering both texture and color with minimal care.
Planting season: Spring to early summer Germination time: 14–30 days Position: Full sun to partial shade, well-drained sandy soil Days till maturity: 3–5 years (to flowering) Plant height: 5–10 cm
Growing instructions: Sow seeds on the surface of a gritty, well-drained cactus mix and cover lightly with sand or fine grit. Keep soil slightly moist and maintain humidity until germination.
