Mammillaria prolifera. You can tell its traits from the name; it readily produces offsets and often forms large clumping colonies, hence the name "offspring ball." The flowers grow at the base of the body; the flowers are small but numerous and brightly colored. Easy to grow, good-looking, far better value than things like golden barrel cactus...

White-haired Easter lily cactus (Echinopsis). The Easter lily cactus is a very common cactus, with many varieties, and it also looks quite beautiful. Grow it in well-drained, fertile soil and give it plenty of light, and it blooms easily. The only problem is that they multiply very quickly, producing lots of pups.

Yuweng (Mammillaria hahniana). Yuweng is also an extremely easy bloomer. Normally it just sits there quietly, but in summer it produces small peach-red flowers that surround the whole body in a ring. Fortunately, they fade after only one or two days; I think it is better if it does not bloom.

Emperor's crown (Obregonia denegrii). Also known as emperor's crown peony, a rare cactus species. The tubercles on the plant are arranged in orderly geometric patterns, making it a rare fine specimen among cacti and one of the representative species of the cactus family. Flowering period is May to August.

Dragon king ball (Echinocactus). An outstanding flowering cactus: with proper care, any plant over 5 cm in diameter can produce buds and bloom. The larger the body, the more buds and flowers it produces. Plants over 7 cm can produce 4 to 6 buds at a time and can flower more than 4 times a month (sometimes 2 to 3 flowers open at the same time).

Sea king ball (Gymnocalycium). A variety of Gymnocalycium saglionis, in the cactus family, genus Gymnocalycium. It likes loose soil, and the flowers are white and pink. Flowering and fruiting period: flowers from spring to early summer, fruit from summer to autumn.

White snow light (Mammillaria). It usually looks very aloof, wrapped in white spines like a plump white chubby figure, and it looks good even without blooming. It blooms in summer; a single flower can stay open for more than 2 weeks, and the continuous flowering period lasts about 3 months. It has considerable ornamental value and is a great choice for a houseplant pot.

Feihua jade (Gymnocalycium baldianum). Widely recognized as the cactus that blooms the most, known as the "flowering machine." It comes in many colors, including white, pink, yellow and red. Once it starts blooming, there is no stopping it; apart from a short rest in winter, it can bloom in all three other seasons of the year. If you like cacti that bloom, this is the one to choose.
