Silver Cluster Cactus

Unique Appearance: The Mammillaria Vetula features a striking spherical shape, covered in white, hair-like spines that resemble a layer of snow, hence its nickname.

Easy Care: This cactus is an excellent choice for beginners, as it requires minimal attention. Simply place it in a sunny spot and water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Compact Size: With a maximum height of about 6 inches (15 cm) and a width of approximately 4 inches (10 cm), it's a perfect addition to your windowsill, desk, or garden.

Drought Tolerant: Mammillaria Vetula is well-adapted to arid conditions and can withstand extended periods without water.

Indoor and Outdoor Versatility: Grow it indoors in well-draining pots or plant it in your garden to add a touch of the Southwest to your landscape.

To care for Mammillaria Vetula, provide it with bright, indirect sunlight or partial sun, either on a sunny windowsill or in your garden. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to thoroughly dry between waterings, typically every 2-3 weeks or less in arid conditions. Ensure well-draining soil and protect it from frost if grown outdoors to keep this "Mexican Snowball" cactus thriving and healthy.
