Q: Cactus Care

Light: Place your Mammillaria rhodantha in a location that receives bright, direct sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day. A sunny windowsill or outdoor spot with full sun exposure is ideal. Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season (spring and summer), water every 2-3 weeks. Reduce watering in the fall and winter to once a month or less. Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. You can also create your own mix by combining regular potting soil with coarse sand and perlite to enhance drainage. Temperature: This cactus prefers warm temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) during the growing season. It can tolerate cooler temperatures in the winter but should be protected from frost. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the growing season. Avoid fertilizing during the fall and winter. Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the cactus outgrows its pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Pruning: Pruning is generally not necessary, but you can remove any dead or damaged spines and flowers to maintain a tidy appearance. Pest Control: Watch for common pests such as mealybugs and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Propagation: Propagate by offsets or seeds. Offsets can be gently removed from the base of the plant and replanted in well-draining soil. Winter Care: Reduce watering significantly and keep the cactus in a cool, bright location. Avoid exposing it to frost or freezing temperatures.

Please Note: Our collection includes bare-root WITHOUT any soil or pot and cuttings.
