Mammillaria hahniana f. cristata

Mammillaria hahniana f. cristata

The cristate form (Mammillaria hahniana f. cristata) develops brain-like crests instead of the normal globular shape. Plants form tight, fan-shaped clusters covered in dense white spines with pinkish wool, creating a striking sculptural look. This plant will be sent bare-rooted (without soil) for safe shipping.

Care

  • Light: Full sun to bright light for dense spine development.
  • Water: Water thoroughly when dry in summer; keep almost dry in winter.
  • Temperature: Tolerates cool to warm conditions (5–30 °C); protect from frost.
  • Media: Well-drained cactus mix.
  • Fertiliser: Apply diluted cactus fertiliser during growing season.

Key Characteristics

  • Growth Form: Cristate (fan-shaped, brain-like)
  • Spines: White, woolly, very dense
  • Flowering: Pink-purple flowers along the ridges in spring–summer
  • Growth Rate: Slow, long-lived
  • Display: Excellent for shallow pots or dish gardens
