4" Arizona Snowcap Cactus

Arizona Snowcap Cactus (Mammillaria vetula subsp. gracilis ‘Arizona Snowcap’)
This charming little cactus is a unique cultivar of Mammillaria vetula gracilis, prized for its dense covering of short, white spines that make it look snow-dusted year-round. Its small, clustered form and bright green stems peek through the white, giving it a frosted, sparkling appearance. In spring, it produces petite cream-colored blooms that add even more charm.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Loves bright light and direct sun; a south- or west-facing window is ideal
💧 Water: Very drought tolerant—let soil dry completely between waterings
🌫 Humidity: Prefers dry air; thrives in low-humidity environments
❄️ Temperature: Protect from frost; keep above 50°F indoors during winter
🐾 Pet Friendly: No (spines and plant tissue can be irritating or toxic if ingested)

Fun Fact: The Snowcap is a mutation of the common Mammillaria gracilis—it grows slower and stays smaller, but its frosty spines make it one of the most sought-after mini cacti for collectors. 🌵✨
