A flattened globular cactus. Stem is tuberculate, spines are somewhat dense if grown in stronger sun.
Size moderate. Likes a winter rest, seldom watering, mineral soil and full sun. Flowers are white with red/orange stripes, but somewhat variable . Blooms in rings. Fruit is a red chili-shaped capsule, tastes like a gooey strawberry (typical of mammillaria fruit). The only downside with the plant is that it can be awkward to repot.
