Technical details:
Botanical name: Mammillaria nunezii
Seed quantity: 10 seeds, carefully selected for their superior quality.
Plant type: Perennial succulent, belonging to the Cactaceae family.
Cultivation cycle: Slow-growing, long-lived plant that provides satisfaction for many years.
Plant height: Mature plants generally reach a diameter of 10-15 cm.
Uses: Perfect as an ornamental indoor plant, to enrich rock gardens in suitable climates, desert terrariums or as a prized piece in a cactus collection.
Tasting Notes: Characterized by a globose or slightly cylindrical stem, covered with prominent tubercles. The areoles produce robust spines, ranging in color from white to yellow. The flowering is a spectacle of color, with funnel-shaped flowers appearing in winter or spring, in shades of pink-purple or deep purple. The fruits are small red berries.
Resistance and Origin: Native to the mountainous regions of Mexico, it is a robust plant, tolerant to drought and high temperatures, but requires protection from frost.
Sowing period: Sowing is recommended in spring (March-May) or autumn, preferably in a controlled environment with stable temperatures.
Optimal conditions for germination: Maintain a constant temperature between 20°C and 25°C, with high humidity and indirect or partially shaded light to promote optimal emergence of cactus seeds.
Soil type: Requires an extremely well-draining substrate, specifically for cacti. An ideal mix includes equal parts potting soil, coarse sand, and perlite or pumice to ensure porosity and prevent waterlogging.
Recommended exposure: Prefers full sun or bright partial shade. It's important to protect young seedlings and newly transplanted plants from direct exposure to the strongest sun during the hottest hours of the day.
Germination times: Germination can take anywhere from 7 days to several weeks (typically 2-6 weeks), depending on the freshness of the seeds and environmental conditions.
Pot or ground cultivation: This plant is ideal for pot cultivation, perfect for bright windowsills or shelves. In the ground, it is only suitable for well-drained rock gardens in hot, dry climates.
Quality Specifications: Our succulent seeds are Non-GMO (not genetically modified), represent a Selected Variety for genetic purity and vigor, and boast a certified High Germinability to maximize the success of your grow.
