The desert Mammillaria plumosa feather cactus needs a great deal of bright, direct light. If you’re keeping your cactus as a houseplant, place it in a southern or western facing window.

Use a sharp well draining soil, and allow all excess water to run off every time you water.

As with most cacti, excessive watering will cause your feather cactus to rot.

These cacti are not toxic but remember they are also not soft and cuddly. Keep your Mammillaria out of the reach of kids and pets to avoid uncomfortable injuries.
USDA hardiness zones 9a to 11b

Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.

Cute Cactus

This puffball looking cactus arrived in great shape. I followed the directions to acclimate the cactus, and it is now doing very well.

I had recently lost a cactus that was in an arrangement that made its absence very noticeable. I saw this wonderful looking cactus on your site and thought it would fit into that arrangement perfectly so I ordered it. When it arrived, it was in excellent condition and looked even better than the picture! Thank you!

Pleasantly Surprised

I was hesitant to buy plants online and have them shipped. The local store didn’t not have a great assortment and the ones I did get aren’t doing so well. The shipment I received was packed very well and all the plants I have gotten are thriving.
