Mammillaria polythele toluca
Mammillaria polythele toluca is a species of cactus native to the Toluca Valley in Mexico. This cactus is part of the Mammillaria genus, which is known for its globular or cylindrical form and distinctive spines. Mammillaria polythele toluca is appreciated for its small, compact growth and attractive flowers.
Key Characteristics:
- Growth Form: Typically globular or cylindrical, forming dense clusters. It grows slowly and can reach a height of around 10–15 cm, making it an ideal choice for small pots or decorative arrangements
- Flowers: Its small, funnel-shaped flowers are pink or pale magenta, and they appear in a ring around the top of the plant during the late spring or early summer
- Habitat: Native to dry, rocky slopes and semi-arid regions, it thrives in well-draining soil and full sunlight
Care Tips:
- Light: Prefers bright, direct sunlight. Ensure it gets several hours of sun each day to maintain its compact shape and vibrant flowering
- Watering: Water sparingly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, when the plant is dormant
- Temperature: Enjoys warm temperatures, typically between 18°C and 30°C (64°F to 86°F). Protect it from frost, as it is not frost-hardy
- Humidity: Tolerates low humidity, making it well-suited for dry indoor environments. Avoid high humidity, which can lead to rot
