About this Item
Mammillaria discolor is a small, slow-growing, typically solitary, globular cactus that can become short-cylindrical with age, often measuring 4–6 cm in diameter. It is distinguished by its olive-green to grayish-brown body, densely set tubercles, white radial spines, and dark central spines, topped by small, deep pink flowers in spring.
Description & Appearance
- Stem: Flattened globose to short-cylindrical, sometimes forming clumps over time.
- Tubercles: Firm, arranged in close spirals with white wool/bristles in their axils.
- Spines: Features 22–30 fine, white radial spines (up to 2 mm long) and 4–5 rigid, brownish to blackish central spines.
- Flowers: Small, funnel-shaped (up to 1.2 cm), deep pink to pink-red, forming a crown around the top of the plant, typically blooming in late winter to early spring.
- Fruit: Small, red or pink, club-shaped.
