Coryphantha

Some forms produce offsets and small groups over time. Plenty of light and spaced watering support growth while avoiding prolonged moisture on the plant. Explore Mammillaria.

General care

• Light: Plenty of light; increase sun exposure gradually.
• Watering: Water during growth after the compost dries; greatly reduce as activity slows.
• Compost: Free-draining cactus mix with mineral components and a pot with drainage holes.
• Temperature: Protect from frost and damp cold; tolerance varies by species.
• Maintenance: Avoid standing water and handle with protection to avoid harming plant or hands.
