Mammillaria grusonii f. papasquiarensis
Mammillaria grusonii f. papasquiarensis: A bumpy, green and crimson cactus with a heavy armament of dark spines. Bright sunlight brings out more of the crimson color, while shade causes it to be more green. This solitary, globose cactus can reach up to 10.0" wide in its native habitats in Mexico.
This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
