Mammillaria hahniana – Old Lady Cactus for Bright Indoor Spaces

Dense White Wool Gives It a Soft, Rounded Look

This cactus is known for its covering of white wool and fine spines, which gives the plant its distinctive appearance. As it matures, it may form a fuller, rounded shape with a textured surface.

Bright Pink Flowers Add Seasonal Colour

When conditions are right, Old Lady Cactus can produce small pink to magenta flowers near the crown. These blooms add a strong contrast against the pale woolly growth.

Best Grown in Strong, Bright Light

Place this cactus in a very bright position, such as a sunny windowsill, greenhouse, enclosed patio or bright indoor growing setup. Gradual acclimatisation is best if moving it into stronger direct sun.

Allow the Soil to Dry Between Waterings

Use a free-draining cactus or succulent mix and let the soil dry out completely before watering again. Water sparingly during cooler months, as this plant is much better suited to dry conditions than wet potting mix.

Please note: The plant pictured is a representation of the plant you will receive. Each cactus will vary slightly in size, shape, wool coverage, spine formation and flowering stage.
