Mammillaria bocacsana "FRED" clone B (bigger and smooth heads)
 

Named for the guy that discovered it, this unusual odd spineless mutant plant had scientists baffled for quite some time before it revealed its true self!

Description: It forms large low clusters of soft rubbery textured green and pink stems, some only a few centimeters across and plant looks more like some non-cactus succulent than a cactus.. Rarely a spine or a hair, monstrose or crested flowers. Sometimes will have a normal "patch" and remain mostly monstrose... The shows many growing variations with different crested and monstrose shapes.

Cultivation:
Mammillaria bocasana "Fred" grows well on its own roots. Keep well ventilated as it is prone to root rot. Protect from frosts and freezes. Hates the sun.
