High Quality Seeds: Our Frailea Magnifica seeds have been carefully selected to ensure successful germination and healthy growth. This species is known for its adaptability and ability to thrive in a variety of conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced collectors alike.
Special Features:
- Compact Form: Frailea Magnifica has a small, globular body, generally dark green in color, with pronounced ribs and fine spines that give it a delicate and ornamental appearance.
- Delicate Bloom: Despite its size, Frailea Magnifica produces relatively large yellow flowers, which contrast beautifully with its dark body. These flowers usually open during the day and can be self-pollinating, facilitating seed production.
- Adaptability: This plant is very hardy and can adapt well to different light and watering conditions, making it ideal for indoor cultivation, cactus collections, or rock gardens.
Watering: Frailea Magnifica requires moderate watering. It is crucial to allow the substrate to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. During winter, reduce watering to a minimum as the plant enters a dormant period.
Lighting: Prefers bright but indirect light. Although it can tolerate some direct sun, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to strong sun to prevent stress on the plant.
Pests: Frailea Magnifica is generally resistant to pests, although it can occasionally be affected by scale insects or spider mites. It is recommended to regularly inspect the plants and use environmentally friendly products to control any infestation.
Cold hardiness: Frailea Magnifica is relatively cold hardy and can tolerate temperatures close to 5°C if kept dry. However, in regions with cold winters, it is best grown indoors or in a greenhouse.
Substrate: A well-drained substrate is recommended, ideally a cactus mix containing coarse sand or gravel. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
Harvest: Frailea Magnifica is grown primarily for its ornamental value. Enjoy its compact form, easy care, and beautiful flowers in cactus collections, miniature gardens, or as a houseplant.
