Mammillaria Maleluca Cactus

For the most part, these species are globose or ball-shaped plants except this one has a star shape.  All have nipple-like tubercles. Spines may be stiff, bristle-like, hair-like, pectinate and come in a wide range of colors. Flowers come from second-year growth in these axils and often form a ring around the stem. In the wild, all but a few of the species are endemic to (only found in) Mexico. A handful of species reach up into the bordering United States and only a couple species find their way down through Central America and Northern South America as well as the islands of the Caribbean.

Our cactus and succulent plants are all grown in the same conditions and, although not identical, are similar in size and shape to the one pictured. Plants are generally shown in 4-inch diameter pots. We only ship good quality and healthy plants, personally inspected prior to packing. Your plant will ship bare root (unpotted) unless otherwise requested or specified. We include Plant Care instructions with your shipment and they can also be found on our website.

Order Processing: Upon receipt of your payment, your order will be processed and shipped within 3-7 business days. If you want us to postpone shipping for a future date, just make a notation with your payment.

Shipping: We ship our plant year round via USPS Priority Mail or UPS, depending upon the nature of the order. Large orders containing many plants may ship in multiple cartons and may ship on different days. We may delay shipping in severe weather.

Thank you for your business! We are family owned and have been in business for 23 years. We look forward to providing you with an exceptional, unusual and beautiful variety of plants.
