Instructions d'entretien
Mammillaria nivosa thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It requires low humidity and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. This cactus is relatively easy to care for and can adapt to indoor and outdoor environments.Sol
This cactus prefers sandy soil with excellent drainage. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal, as it prevents water from pooling around the roots, which can lead to rot. Ensure the soil is well-aerated and dries out completely between waterings.Engrais
Fertilize Mammillaria nivosa with a balanced cactus fertilizer, such as a 2-7-7 formula, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, about once a month, to avoid over-fertilization, which can harm the plant.Rempotage
Repot Mammillaria nivosa every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the cactus from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh cactus mix.Propagation
Propagate Mammillaria nivosa through offsets or seeds. Offsets can be gently removed from the parent plant and allowed to callous over before planting in sandy soil. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining mix and kept warm and lightly moist until they germinate.Taille
Pruning is generally not required for Mammillaria nivosa. However, you can remove any dead or damaged parts to maintain its appearance. Use clean, sharp tools to avoid introducing infections.Toxicité
Mammillaria nivosa is not toxic to pets or humans. However, its spines can cause physical injury if handled improperly, so care should be taken when handling the plant.RÉVOLUTIONNEZ LE SOIN DE VOS PLANTES
