Description:
Mammillaria matudae is a striking, collector-worthy cactus that combines elegant form with easy care. Its slender, sculptural column is wrapped in finely patterned white spines, giving it a refined, almost lace-like appearance, while soft pink flowers bloom in a delicate crown near the top each spring. Native to the highlands of Mexico, it thrives in bright light, needs minimal watering, and rewards patience with long life and reliable flowering.

Flowers bloom from late winter into spring, producing a graceful ring of soft pink to lavender blooms near the crown of the stem. Each flower is delicately funnel-shaped, often marked with a darker central stripe, and opens in succession so the plant can remain in bloom for several weeks. Individual flowers last only a few days, but mature plants can carry many at once, creating a rhalo effect that beautifully contrasts with the fine white spination.

Perfect for windowsills, greenhouses, or curated cactus collections, Mammillaria matudae offers timeless beauty and architectural charm in a compact, slow-growing plant.

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

Care Guide

Light
Mammillaria cacti thrive in full sun or bright indirect light. 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. Can be sunburned if moved from shade into full sun too quickly. If grown indoors, place them near a south or west-facing window where they can receive plenty of light.

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
The plant requires well-drained soil, such as a mix of pumice, clay, and regular soil, to ensure proper drainage and prevent root rot. A perforated pot is ideal for allowing excess water to escape.
