Mammilaria?

Post by Hero878 »

Got this really nice looking Mammilaria from Wilkos but not sure what it is. Love the small dense spines that are reddish at the growth point.
I managed to remove the glued on flower :)

Thanks

Mammillaria spinosissima.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
°C = (°F - 32)/1.8

Ah thanks! Much appreciated. I'm ashamed of myself for not knowing as it seems to be quite a common one. I already have quite a few Mammilarias in my collection such as Plumosa, Prolifera, Carmenae, Hahniana, Boldtii and others

#-o Thanks thats it Humboldtii. Although it recently rotted as the stock it was grafted to rotted. Will get another one though when I next visit Croston cactus in the spring time.

I hope your plant survives the glue treatment. I hate how greenhouses do that to promote sales.
