Mammillaria celsiana 10cm

Mammillaria celsiana

Celsiana is a hardy decorative Mammillaria growing 8 to 10cm across and 20 to 30cm high over many years. Offsets rarely appear on older plants. In spring, bright pink flowers appear in a ring on the previous year's growth.

Position under protected partially shaded positions outdoors. Indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape and colour. Flowering will only occur in good light.

Watering can be watered all year round and grows fastest in the warmer months. Plants will survive without water for very long periods and remain compact when dry.

Feeding-25% of recommended dosage monthly in

growing period. The less fertiliser, the better the

shape of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce larger plants with less colour. Repotting can be left to overgrow their pots, or repotted in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.
