Mammillaria Klissingiana, originally from Mexico, also known as pumpkins Bisnaga (the truth is that I have not found or know why this common name is.) It usually grows as a solitary, rarely branches off. It begins with a globular shape, but as time passes it changes to cylindrical and round shape at the tip. Tubercules are strong and in different forms such as pyramidal, round or conical. With the passage of time, the armpits get woolier.
The spines are fairly well distributed: between two and four white central spines at the base and the darker tips and between thirty and thirty-five white radial spines and completely straight.
As for the flowers, like the other mammillarias, they are made of strong pink crowning the cactus, with fruits between orange and red and brown seeds. It likes to be so in partial shade until he is in full sun, always watching with the summer sun that he can burn him.
It should not be exposed to minimum temperatures below seven positive degrees. Finally, irrigation unlike other species must be practically scarce, as if too much water is given, there is a danger of rot and fungi or the cotton will appear.
