More information about this plant

*Mammillaria hahniana*, often referred to as the "Old Lady Cactus," is a popular species within the Mammillaria genus. It is well-regarded for its distinctive appearance and relatively easy care requirements. Here are some key details about this cactus:

- **Appearance:** The cactus is typically small and globular, forming a dense cluster of spherical stems. It has a distinctive, woolly or hairy appearance due to the dense covering of white to off-white wool and spines. This woolly covering is particularly prominent on older specimens, giving rise to the common name.

- **Spines:** *Mammillaria hahniana* has short, curved spines that are usually white or pale in color. The spines are often arranged in clusters on the tubercles, creating a soft, spiny appearance. The plant’s overall look is fluffy and somewhat "hairy" due to the wool and spines.

- **Flowers:** The cactus produces small, funnel-shaped flowers that are typically pink or reddish. These flowers usually appear near the top of the cactus and can create a beautiful contrast against the plant's woolly body. The flowers often bloom in late winter to early spring.

- **Habitat:** Native to Mexico, *Mammillaria hahniana* thrives in arid and semi-arid environments. It is adapted to well-draining soils and bright sunlight, making it well-suited to cultivation in similar conditions.

- **Cultivation:** This species is relatively easy to grow and care for. It prefers well-draining cactus mix or sandy soil. It should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. It thrives in bright, indirect light and can tolerate some direct sunlight. During the winter months, it benefits from a period of reduced watering to mimic its natural dormant period.

*Mammillaria hahniana* is a charming addition to any cactus collection, admired for its unique appearance and low-maintenance care requirements.
