A flower bought for 2 yuan is easier to grow than a pothos, and even a lazy person can grow it until it blooms stunningly

Bought a potted flower for 2 yuan, it is far easier to grow than a pothos, basically needs no care, very suitable for lazy people to grow, and when it blooms it is stunning! This flower is the grass ball cactus, scientific name Mammillaria gracilis, native to South America, generally growing in hot, dry grassland and desert areas with distinct rainy and dry seasons. It likes dryness and tolerates drought. The main growing season of the cactus is summer, which is also its peak blooming season.

Summer is the peak blooming season, and the small flower buds grow larger and elongate day by day, until finally they are like an extra-large calligraphy brush. The blooming time is not long, opening from 6 or 7 in the evening, and by noon the next day it has faded. The flower shape is rather large and very beautiful, and its shape is very similar to that of the epiphyllum. It also gives off a very pleasant delicate fragrance, which is rarely seen among other cacti. Its proudly upright posture has a sense of standing out from the crowd; these are probably the reasons it is known as the "Queen of the Night" in Europe and America.

Mammillaria gracilis likes a warm, sunny environment, is drought-resistant and fairly cold-tolerant, and under conditions of no watering can withstand low temperatures of -10 degrees; in summer it requires shading, in winter it requires plenty of sunlight, and the suitable temperature is 18-30 degrees. It is suitable for growing in loose, fertile sandy loam.

Mammillaria gracilis has very strong vitality; as long as watering is controlled, it can maintain a healthy and beautiful ball shape for a very long time, and if placed indoors in winter, it generally will not die. The ball body readily grows offsets, and any one broken off and placed on the soil can survive.

Mammillaria gracilis should be repotted and given fresh soil once every 1-2 years in early spring. When repotting, trim off some old roots and remove some old soil, let it dry for 1-2 days before repotting, and add some new potting soil.
