Mammillaria magnimamma, SB 40

Mammillaria magnimamma, SB 40, Hidalgo, Mexico.

A coarsy soilmix and lots of sunshine will keep this one flowering and offseting. During winter, it should not be watered or be kept at freezing temperatures.

Mammillaria bocasana ssp. eschauzieri

  

This one is easy to flower as long as it is potted in the right substrate, that is a very coarse, gritty sand with chunks of granite and very little humus. It is quite resistant to cold temperatures if kept dry and flowers abundantly throughout the whole growing season. Perfect plant for beginners, as it does not require much space and will accommodate low light.

Fairly easy to grow, requiring typical mammillaria care. Not sure about its frost resistance though as this is the first season it rests at low temperatures.
