How to fertilize Mammillaria winterae
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Mammillaria winterae after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Dry spots? Hi! Do any of you have an idea what might have caused these spots on my cacti? They are recent (during the past week I would say). It is just in this small area, very clustered. It has been warmer and sunnier the past week, could it be sunburn? (I thougt he wanted lots of sun🙈). But it is on the side, not really where the most sun would hit I think. Or is it some kind of disease? (Not sure how he could have gotten anything as he is standing in a closed room where nothing has changed the past 4 months). Or might he have gotten too wet after last watering?🙈 I water him aprox once a month. He is about to flower and I am a little sad I have made him sad😟 #cactusclique #cactus #cacti #plantsmakepeoplehappy #help #brownspots #Mammillaria

Lost and found #Mammillaria I picked up several cactus pups, from 2 cactus plants, off my floor, during the wintertime and I forgot to propagate them. ☹️ After three months of being completely neglected, (no water, no soil, and no love) these resilient cactus babies are still looking healthy. 😥 Some even have new growth. 🤔 The 2nd picture is an image of these little guys in their new home.

Can anyone tell me what type of cactus this is? #Mammillaria Hey everyone! I got this beautiful little one at a local nursery and it was labeled as just "rainbow". This baby's spines (is that the right word?) seem to be growing in a more upward fashion than any others I've seen (I looked up rainbow cactus as well as rainbow pincushion) so I'm wondering if anyone knows what exactly she is!
