Mammillaria rekoi

Covered in soft white fuzz and gentle, fine spines, Mammillaria rekoi is the kind of cactus that looks like it’s always bundled up for a chilly desert night. Its round shape and dense wool give it a cozy feel, but when it’s in bloom? It bursts with vibrant pink to reddish-purple flowers that circle the crown like a festive floral halo.

Easygoing and compact, this cactus thrives on sun and minimal water. It’s a great addition to any cactus lover’s shelf — especially if you love surprises in the spring.
