Mammillaria Compressa Variegata

A globular cactus that usually forms colonies that do not exceed 20 centimetres in height.

The tubers are greyish-green with a woolly appearance when they sprout.

In this specimen some tubercles have lost their pigmentation, and the green colour has turned yellow.

It has up to 6 radial spines and 4 to 7 fairly long white central spines.

Outdoors it can withstand low temperatures, but beware of frost.

Very small pink or red flowers.
