Description:

Mammillaria rekoi ssp. leptacantha is a distinctive cactus native to the mountainous regions of Mexico, known for its enchanting, slender spines and white woolly body that give it a delicate appearance. The subspecies name 'leptacantha' translates to 'thin-spined', highlighting its fine, thin spines. This cactus forms a dense cluster of spherical stems, creating a visually striking display.

Flowers are small, pinkish-purple flowers that bloom in spring. It's a resilient species that prefers well-drained soil and moderate sunlight, making it a fantastic addition to rock gardens, windowsills, or as part of a diverse cacti collection. This plant is an excellent choice for beginners, as it's very easy to grow and drought-tolerant.

Please note: The image is representative, the plant may vary slightly since each plant is unique.

Care Guide

Light
Prefers full sun to partial shade, with direct sunlight promoting better spine coloration and flowering. They require at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily to grow optimally. High levels of light are needed to flower and for good spine development. Indoors, place it in the sunniest spot, preferably a west- or south-facing window.

Water
Water every 2–3 weeks in spring and summer, adjusting based on temperature and humidity. In the cooler months, water sparingly, about once every 4–6 weeks. Always allow the soil to dry completely between waterings and avoid letting the plant sit in water to prevent overwatering and root rot.

Soil
A well-draining soil mix, specifically designed for cacti and succulents, is essential to prevent root rot. This mix should ideally contain sand, perlite, and other inorganic components to ensure good drainage.
