Mammillaria pringlei (Pringle’s Pincushion Cactus) 2.5"—A Botanical Performer in Your Home Stage

Meet the Mammillaria pringlei (Pringle’s Pincushion Cactus) 2.5", a tiny yet tenacious beauty that’s brimming with charm. With its classic rounded shape, creamy white radial spines, and tendency to form cute clusters as it matures, this cactus is like the introvert at the party—quietly stealing the show.

The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):
• Light: Thrives in bright, direct light—sun-drenched windowsills are its happy place.
• Water: Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings.
• Humidity: No humidity needed—it’s perfectly content with Alberta’s dry climate.

What It’s Telling You:
• Happy Signs: Plump body, bright spines, and symmetrical growth.
• Needs TLC: Wrinkled base? Give it a drink. Mushy or dark patches? Ease up on the watering, friend.

Good News for Pet Parents:
Not pet-friendly—keep this prickly pal out of paw’s reach.
