Mammillaria geminispina – The Elegant Pincushion Cactus

Add charm and character to your cactus collection with Mammillaria geminispina, a captivating species native to central Mexico. Known for its cushion-like clusters, snow-white spines, and delicate pink blooms, this low-maintenance cactus brings both beauty and texture to any indoor or outdoor display.

Striking Appearance:

Compact, Clustering Growth
This cactus forms cylindrical stems that grow solo or in dense clumps over time, creating a soft, rounded cushion effect. Each stem can reach up to 10 inches tall and spread across 20 inches when mature.

Textured, Snowy Spines
Covered in fine white down and a dense halo of radial spines, with longer, darker central spines adding dramatic contrast and interest.

Seasonal Flower Display
From summer to autumn, it produces a crown of carmine-pink flowers that circle the top of each stem—an eye-catching display that adds a pop of color to its silvery form.

 Easy-Care Growing Tips:

• Light: Prefers full sun to bright indirect light. Some afternoon shade is beneficial in very hot climates.

• Soil: Needs well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent rot.

• Water: Water moderately during spring and summer. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce significantly in winter.
