Repotting Stetsonia corine

Hello, i´ve been since last year staring at this guy thinking about how to repot him... The spines are very long and sharp, and i was scared about to be injured myself or to hurt him (breaking the beautiful spination...). This is the process i followed, just in case it could be useful for somebody.

Re: Mammillaria (I)

Or possibly a close relation of Mammillaria tlalocii = Mammillaria huitzilopotchlii since the central spines are usually produced on older plants, often intermittently or not at all. huitzilopotchli.jpg huitzilopotchli2.jpg Agreed.
