The Thimble Cactus is a charming, low-growing cactus known for its delicate appearance and ability to form dense clusters. Native to Mexico, this Mammillaria species features small, cylindrical stems densely covered in white, lace-like spines, giving it a soft, fuzzy look. Despite its fragile name, it's a resilient and easy-to-grow variety.

This cactus produces small, creamy yellow or pale white flowers in the spring and summer, adding a beautiful contrast to its intricate spine pattern. Over time, it spreads to form attractive mounds, making it perfect for containers, rock gardens, or as part of a cactus and succulent arrangement.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight or filtered full sun.
• Water: Water sparingly—allow soil to dry out completely between waterings.
• Soil: Use well-draining cactus or succulent soil.
• Hardiness: Not frost-tolerant; ideal for USDA zones 9–11. Protect from temperatures below 30°F.

This is an ideal cactus for beginners and collectors alike due to its compact size, beautiful form, and forgiving nature.
