The Mammillaria candida ‘Snowball Cactus’ is a compact cactus with dense, silvery-white spines that form a tight, rounded shape giving it standout texture and charm. Native to Mexico, this cactus thrives in bright light and well-draining soil and grows slowly over time into a tidy clump. Don’t let the soft appearance fool you this cactus is tough, resilient, and a favorite among collectors for its stunning look and ease of care.

Please Note: Our collection includes bare-root WITHOUT any soil or pot and cuttings. Some of our plants may have minor scars, yet each one is guaranteed to arrive in optimal health and excellent condition. Additionally, any discoloration at the base of the cactus, particularly in rooted variants, is a typical result of previous planting in soil. 

Product Details

Benefits

✔ Snowball-like appearance with dense white radial spines
✔ Rare and slow-growing—perfect for collectors
✔ Produces pale pink or cream flowers in spring
✔ Compact and tidy, ideal for windowsills and small pots
✔ Thrives with minimal water and lots of sunlight

Cactus Care

✔ After Arrival: Allow your Snowball Cactus to rest in a dry, shaded area for 3–5 days before planting. Use a cactus mix with excellent drainage—ideally sandy soil with perlite or pumice. Skip watering the first week to avoid stress.
✔ Long-Term Care: Place in full sun to maintain its bright white coloring and compact form. Water deeply only when the soil is bone dry, usually every 2–3 weeks during warm months and much less in winter.
✔ Hardiness Zone: 9–11. Tolerates brief cold spells, but protect from frost below 20°F by bringing it indoors or using frost cloth.
