Mammillaria bucareliensis ‘Erasuma’ – Fluffy Form (Japanese Cultivar) - Exact Plant

US Seller – You Will Purchase the Exact Plant Pictured!

The Mammillaria bucareliensis ‘Erasuma’ (Fluffy Form) is a Japanese-selected cultivar renowned for its exceptionally dense, silky white spines that create an almost snow-covered appearance. This unique form takes the natural charm of M. bucareliensis to new levels of softness and symmetry—each plant forming a perfect, cloudlike mound that looks as if it’s been dusted in powdered sugar.

Native to central Mexico, Mammillaria bucareliensis is already a beautiful species, but the Erasuma cultivar enhances its natural traits with ultra-fine spination and slower, more compact growth. Under bright light, the creamy-white fuzz glows faintly golden, and in spring, a ring of delicate pinkish-white blooms crowns the top, completing its enchanting display.

This is a true collector’s plant—refined, sculptural, and bred for beauty.

Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, direct sunlight. Outdoors, full sun encourages dense spination and compact growth. Indoors, provide the brightest possible window or high-intensity grow light.
Water: Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. In winter, reduce watering to once a month or less. Avoid water pooling on the crown.
Humidity: Thrives in dry air; avoid overly humid environments. Ensure good airflow.
Temperature: Ideal range is 65–90°F (18–32°C). Protect from frost and cold drafts.
💡 Pro Tip: Use a gritty, mineral-heavy cactus mix with added pumice or perlite. Japanese cultivars like Erasuma prefer shallow pots and bright light, which intensify their trademark fluffiness.
