Description:

The Mammillaria plumosa, often referred to as the "feather cactus," is one of the most inviting cacti due to its soft, non-spiky texture. Covered in a delicate layer of white wool and feather-like spines, this cactus stands out with its unique and charming appearance. Over time, it naturally branches, forming lush, dense mounds that can reach 20-40 cm in diameter.

In winter and spring, it produces fragrant blooms in shades of creamy white, yellow, or pink, filling the air with a delightful scent.

This low-maintenance cactus is easy to grow and makes a stunning addition to any space, whether displayed in a pot or on a windowsill. With its attractive form and simple care requirements, the Mammillaria plumosa is a must-have for any cactus enthusiast or plant lover.

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

Care Guide

Light
Thrive in full sun or bright indirect light. They require at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily to grow optimally. If grown indoors, place them near a south or west-facing window where they can receive plenty of light.

Water
Can rot quickly if overwatered or it doesn't have good drainage as the root system is weak. It can also die if allowed to become too dry at any time of the year. The fluff surrounding the stems of the plant makes it susceptible to rot. Try to water the soil surface directly, avoiding getting water on the fluffy spines if possible.

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

Soil
Requires good drainage and very porous potting mix
