Mammillaria prolifera, commonly known as the Texas nipple cactus, is a delightful and prolific small cactus native to the southern United States and Mexico.

Growth Habit: Mammillaria prolifera is a small, globular cactus that typically grows in dense clusters. It can quickly form large mats or mounds covered in spherical to cylindrical stems, each measuring up to 2 inches in height and about the same in diameter.

Spine Characteristics: This cactus is covered with small, conical tubercles from which emerge radial spines.

Flowers: Mammillaria prolifera blooms profusely with small, creamy-yellow flowers that encircle the crown of the stem.

Rock and Cactus Gardens: Ideal for rock gardens and cactus-specific landscapes where its clumping habit can be showcased.

Container Gardening: Perfect for containers and dish gardens, especially when mixed with other desert plants to create varied textures and forms.

Drought Tolerance: Highly drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering once established.

Low Maintenance: Needs little care beyond the occasional watering and feeding during the active growing season.
