Mammillaria schiedeana, commonly known as the Sahuaro Cactus or Schiede's Mammillaria, is a small, globular cactus native to Mexico, specifically the states of Veracruz and Puebla. It is part of the Mammillaria genus, which is known for its distinctive cylindrical tubercles and spines. This cactus features a charming, compact form and is characterized by its clusters of small, white to pink flowers that bloom in spring and summer, forming a lovely crown around the top. Due to its attractive appearance and relatively easy care, it is a popular choice for collectors and as an ornamental plant in gardens and containers.
Here are some tips:
Light: Provide bright, direct sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. This cactus thrives in full sun, which promotes healthy growth and blooming.
Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season (spring and summer), water every 2-3 weeks, but reduce watering in fall and winter to avoid root rot.
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to ensure proper drainage. You can also add perlite or sand to regular potting soil to enhance drainage.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18-35°C during the growing season. It can tolerate cooler temperatures in winter, down to about 50°F (10°C), but protect it from frost.
Humidity: Mammillaria schiedeana prefers low humidity levels, making it suitable for dry indoor environments. Avoid high humidity, which can lead to fungal issues.
Fertilizing: Fertilize with a diluted cactus fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage blooming and healthy growth. Avoid fertilizing during the dormant winter months.
Repotting: Repot every few years or when it outgrows its container, preferably in the spring. Handle carefully to avoid damaging the spines.
