Care Instructions:
Lighting Needs:
Place your Mammillaria Plumosa in a spot where it can receive bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the early morning or late afternoon, but avoid harsh midday sun to prevent burning the delicate spines.
Watering Schedule:
Water sparingly. During the growing season (spring and summer), allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Typically, watering every 2-3 weeks is sufficient. In the fall and winter months, reduce watering to once a month or less, as the cactus enters dormancy.
Soil and Potting:
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix. A blend of potting soil, coarse sand, and perlite or pumice works best to provide proper drainage and aeration.
Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent water retention. Terracotta or clay pots are recommended for their breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
Temperature Requirements:
Keep your Mammillaria Plumosa in temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). It is not frost-tolerant, so ensure it is protected from temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Humidity:
This cactus prefers a dry environment with low humidity. Avoid placing it in high-humidity areas such as bathrooms or near constantly misted plants.
Unboxing and Planting Instructions:
Upon receiving your Mammillaria Plumosa:
Carefully Unbox: Gently remove the cactus from its packaging, being mindful not to damage its delicate spines or root system.
Potting: Prepare a small pot with well-draining soil, and position the cactus so that its base sits slightly above the soil level.
Initial Watering: Wait 5-7 days before watering for the first time to allow the roots to acclimate and settle into their new environment.

Upon receipt of plant – carefully open and remove plant from package. Cacti should be then placed on moist soil (it helps to create an indentation for the roots). Soil mix should be chunky, such as with the use of cactus soil that includes rocks, lyca balls, perlite, sand, and soil. Soil must be well draining. All containers for plants must have drainage holes. Cacti are best watered from the bottom when the top soil has dried out. Keep the soil moist, but not soaking, and never let them sit in standing water.
