SPECIAL PLANT

This Mammillaria compressa horrida is a dense, spiny cactus with a compact growth habit and robust, curved central spines. Its tubercles are pronounced, and its spine clusters form a dense lattice across the green body. The horrida form is known for its stronger spination and more rugged appearance, ideal for fans of classic, no-frills cactus aesthetics.

Fun fact:
This species is thought to have been depicted in ancient Aztec codices due to its prominence in central Mexican regions, where it grows naturally.

 

Cultivation:
Plant in a mineral, fast-draining mix. Water only when completely dry. Needs full sun for compact growth. Keep dry in winter—tolerates cold if protected from humidity.
