Mammillaria plumosa, the feather cactus, is a species of flowering plant in the family Cactaceae, native to Northeastern Mexico.
Special care
1) Do not mist or spray as the fine hairs will trap water, which induces a magnifying effect under direct light, causing sunburn damage
2) Use the "soak and dry" method to water
3) Mammillaria blooms prolifically when fertilised regularly using water soluble fertilisers with even NPK ratio or osmocote
4) Mammillaria is prone to rot in waterlogged conditions, use 50% inorganics in the soil mix
5) Mammillaria can be propagated by seeds or pups
