Mammillaria chionocephala belongs to the Cactaceae family and has its origin in Mexico. Offering a dormancy of winters, this succulent blooms in the spring season. The plant has a globular to a cylindrical shape and can grow up to 15-20 cm high.

Growth Rate

Mammillaria chionocephala is a slow-growing plant and you cannot provide it with any special treatment or special conditions to make it grow faster.

Flowering

Each head of the cactus is surrounded by a complete ring of star-like pink colored flowers. These flowers start producing wool only when they reach the flowering stage.

Watering and Feeding

To keep the soil a bit wet, water just once or twice a week. Water less in winters and water with distilled water rather than tap water. Use liquid fertilizer to feed once a month during growing seasons.
