Mammillaria uncinata Seeds

Mammillaria uncinata

🌎 Native to: Northern Mexico and the southwestern United States
🌿 Growth habit: This one grows in a nice, round shape with tightly packed tubercles and those signature hooked spines that spiral around—kind of like nature's little spiral staircase
📏 Grows to about: 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide—small, but it’s got presence
🌸 Flowers: It flowers in the spring with pale pink to magenta blooms, brightening up the desert with a nice pop of color
🦋 Wildlife interactions: Bees love it, and the fruits can attract birds and small mammals when they’re ripe
🌱 Seeds collected from: Plants grown at Arid Adaptations Nursery in Tucson, Arizona

This cactus has a subtle charm. Its spines give it some edge, but when those magenta flowers bloom, it’s like the whole plant comes alive. Perfect for adding a little color and character to your collection.
