M. compressa is native to northern and southern Mexico where it can be found growing in rocky, semi-arid environments. This species is known to cluster up to 3 feet wide with individual stems measuring about 4 inches in diameter and 10 inches tall. The stems are slightly club shaped and have a blueish green epidermis. The stems are covered in medium to long, curved, white spines. Mammillaria compressa blooms in winter to early spring with tiny deep purple to pink flowers that are bell shaped. This species is grown as an ornamental plant for its drought tolerance and bright flowers. Mammillaria compressa grows best in full sun to partial shade, sitting in well-draining soils. Water the plant adequately during summer and keep dry during winter as it is prone to rot. It is a drought-tolerant species and can tolerate a wide range of temperatures. Allow the soil to completely dry out in between waterings. USDA plant hardiness zones 9a to 11b. Mammillaria compressa seeds require consistent moisture and humidity to germinate, but the soil should not remain soaking wet. Cloning boxes, ziplock bags, and other containers that retain humidity are ideal to store sown pots. Use a well-draining sterilized soil mix. Seeds should be sown directly on top of the potting mixture. Germinating pots should be kept indoors, out of extreme light and heat. Ideal germination temperatures range from 70\u00b0F to 80\u00b0F. Germination typically takes 1 to 3 weeks to occur. Even with optimal conditions, germination may be slow and sporadic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"itempress_category":[11],"itempress_tag":[388,452,408,51,16,75],"class_list":["post-8041","itempress_product","type-itempress_product","status-publish","hentry","itempress_category-cat-40605","itempress_tag-cacti-succulent-seeds","itempress_tag-draught-resistant","itempress_tag-mammillaria","itempress_tag-perennial","itempress_tag-returnsnotaccepted","itempress_tag-unbranded"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/itempress_product\/8041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/itempress_product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/itempress_product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"itempress_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/itempress_category?post=8041"},{"taxonomy":"itempress_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/itempress_tag?post=8041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
