Haworthia Emelyae, Witkliprug Specimen Plant

Mammillaria carmenae is a beautiful miniature cactus native to Mexico, highly prized by collectors for its dense covering of delicate, hair-like spines and attractive flowering display.

This charming species develops a small, rounded to cylindrical body covered with numerous fine, feathery spines that range from creamy white to golden yellow.
