Cacti - Mammillaria Old Lady Cactus

Mammillaria hahniana – Old Lady Cactus | Compact & Collectible

Bring timeless charm and soft elegance to your cactus collection with Mammillaria hahniana, affectionately known as the Old Lady Cactus. This globular cactus is instantly recognizable by its dense halo of fine, white hair-like spines, giving it a plush, snow-kissed appearance. In spring, it produces bright magenta flowers, creating a stunning contrast against its silvery body.

Compact and easy-care, this cactus is ideal for windowsills, desktops, terrariums, or succulent arrangements, making it a perfect choice for both beginners and seasoned collectors.

Why It Stands Out

• Soft, Silvery Spines: Dense white hairs create a fuzzy, eye-catching texture

• Compact & Versatile: Fits small spaces and decorative displays

• Beginner-Friendly: Hardy and low-maintenance

• Seasonal Blooms: Rings of bright pink or magenta flowers in spring–early summer

• Air-Purifying: Helps refresh indoor air naturally

Care Highlights

• Light: Bright, indirect sunlight; sunny windows are ideal

• Water: Let soil dry completely between waterings; reduce in winter

• Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix

• Temperature: Warm indoor environments (18–27°C); protect from frost

• Repotting: Only when necessary; ensure proper drainage
