Mammillaria is a genus of spiny cacti native to the desert regions of Central America, particularly Mexico. Plants usually form clusters of spherical or columnar stems, and bear funnel-shaped flowers.
Mammillaria zeilmanniana 'New Dawn' bears globe-shaped spiked stems in dark green. In spring, the globes are absolutely covered in gorgeous, pink flowers, making this a very attractive cultivar indeed. It’s a great choice for a beginner cactus grower and would make a fine addition to any cactus collection.
For best results grow Mammillaria zeilmanniana 'New Dawn' in cactus compost in containers in full sun. Water from mid-spring to summer only, and feed once a month with a special cactus fertiliser. Like all cacti growing in a temperate climate, it’s best grown as a houseplant but containers may be moved to a sunny, sheltered patio in midsummer.
