Cacti- Mammillaria Brain

Mammillaria 'Brain' is a uniquely shaped cactus known for its dense, brain-like appearance formed by tightly packed tubercles and woolly areoles. This fascinating structure makes it a standout addition to any cactus or succulent collection. Its compact form and unusual texture add visual interest, even when not in bloom.

Characteristics:

• Distinctive brain-like growth pattern

• Small size, ideal for containers or rock gardens

• Produces tiny pink or reddish flowers in a circular crown

• Slow-growing and long-living

• Native to arid regions, well-suited to dry environments

Care:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or full sun

• Water: Water sparingly; allow soil to dry out completely between watering

• Soil: Use well-draining cactus or succulent mix

• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions; protect from frost

• Fertiliser: Feed with diluted cactus fertiliser during the growing season (spring to early autumn)
