Description:
Mammillaria magnimamma is a perennial stem succulent solitary at first, later branching basally (or dichotomously) to form large mounds up to 50 cm in diameter (or more) barely rising above ground level.

This species is very variable and has received many names. In particular the spines are of variable shape and length, occasionally they are very long (up to 5 cm long).

Stems:
Flattened globose to globose, grey-green to dark blue-green, 10-13 cm in diameter and up to 30 cm tall.

Tubercles:
Conic-pyramidal as long or longer than broad, about 10 mm tall, firm, four-sided but not sharply angled, with latex, flowering axils with dense white wool, especially when young.

Central:
Spines usually absent.

Radial:
(1-)2-5(-6), sometimes more, extremely variable, unequal, awl shaped, whitish to yellowish, with dark tips, 3-45 mm long, lower one longer up to 5 cm long, stronger than the others and more or less curving downward.

Flowers:
Dirty white, creamy-yellow or tinged brown with reddish midveins, to deep purplish pink, 20-25 mm wide and long and in diameter.

Blooming season:
Mid spring.

Fruits:
Club shaped, dark purplish red, to 20 mm long, sticking straight out from the stem.

Seeds:
Small brown.

Origin and Habitat:
This species is widespread throughout central Mexico in Hidalgo, Guerrero, Jalisco, M�xico State, Aguascalientes, Tlaxcala, Veracruz, Zacatecas, Queretaro, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Puebla, San Luis Potosi, and M�xico Federal District.

Populations of this species are relatively numerous and abundant.

Altitude:
100-2,700 metres above sea level.

Habitat and ecology:
It grows in dry rocky places in the open or (mainly) in xerophyllous vegetation.

Despite the great abundance and diversity of cacti in Mexico, Mammillaria magnimamma is one of the few cacti species that has colonized barren lava fields.

In parts of its range the species is threatened by local extraction for ornamental plant trade and by the expansion of urbanized areas. -

Rhipsalis Cruciformis RARE - Lepismium Cruciforme Plant
1 x Rhipsalis Cruciformis Cactus plant - Lepismium Cruciforme

Shipped in a 6.5 cm pot

Water before they are totally dry and little in winter

Should be planted in a larger pot when this settles down

Produces attractive flowers

With heat and light the leaves go pink or purple

Direct sunlight can burn the leaves

The cactus grows in low soil media, such as orchid substrate.

You can also plant it in cactus blend mixed with compost to enrich the medium.

Rhipsalis Cruciformis thrives in indirect light and cannot tolerate periods of bright sun.

Like most cacti, Rhipsalis Cruciformis does best when allowed to dry out between watering.

During winter, cut watering in half and then reinstate when spring growth begins.

Fertilize with a water-soluble cactus or orchid fertilizer in early spring.

You can place your plant outside in spring and summer but do not forget to bring it in when temperatures cool.

Best of all, the cactus will stand some neglect, so do not worry about it when you go on vacation. -
