Mammillaria schiedeana is an attractive small cactus with dark green spherical stems with cylindrical or slightly tapering tubercles and covered with clusters of white hairy spines with a yellowish base. The stems slowly grow up to 6 cm in diameter, solitary or forming dense clumps. Each areole bears up to 120 thin radial spines and 6 to 10 little stouter central spines. The spines are up to 0.5 cm long.
Flowers are white to cream-colored, up to 1.5 cm long, and appear in winter, forming rings at the top of the stems in winter. Fruits are red, club-shaped, and contain black seeds.
Mammillaria schiedeana is native to Mexico. It grows in rocky areas, such as limestone cliffs and slopes, at elevations from 1,100 to 1,600 m.
To encourage better flowering, allow the plants to enjoy a cooling period in the winter and suspend watering. Unlike many other cacti, which use their ribs as storage devices, the Mammillaria feature raised tubercles, from which spines emerge. When you water, the tubercles expand to allow for increased water storage. The flowers emerge from the axils of these tubercles on the previous year's growth, which accounts for their interesting halo effect.
This cactus is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an easy-to-care-for plant that makes a dramatic statement.
