Description:
It is a very choice and selected white flowering form
of
Mammillaria giselae. This plant has smaller white flowers and many thin feathery
spines, that envelop almost completely the plant body.
Stem: Spherical, clustering
Spines: No central spines ; up to 30 radials ( 4-6 mm ), feathery
pale yellowish.
Flowers: Tiny (less than 1
cm) white flowers in March.
Fruit: red
Cultivation:
It needs regular water in
the summer, but
for the best appearance, keep water off of the spines.
Do not let the soil
become too dry in winter, either. It does better with a good drained soil
mix since it is a rot prone species, whose
roots are
easily lost in pots that stay damp for any length of time. It
takes a couple of years to offset, but once it starts, it can fill a 10
cm
pot in just a few years. It needs full sun or light shade in summer.
Propagation: Offsets (Cuttings root quickly)
