Welcome to the world of Cactus! The stunning Fishhook cactus, also known as Mammillaria Carretii, is a member of Mammillaria saffordii! This globular beauty is a sight to behold with its dense supination and reddish hooked central spines that resemble fishhooks. It's like having a tiny fishing rod in your indoor garden!  

When it comes to blooming, this cactus doesn't shy away from showing off its explosive white-yellow with light peach tube blooms that are simply breathtaking. This little guy can grow up to 24 inches tall and 11 inches wide but prefers soil with good drainage and some shade.  

You won't need any fancy gardening skills for taking care of this cutie as it thrives in various conditions making it perfect for any collection or even gifting purposes! 

Watering Needs 

For fishhook cacti and for most other cacti don't water until the top 2 inches of soil is completely dry. Cacti are like camels and can go a long time without water. One of the main signs of lack of water is a pale discoloration and the stem starts to shrink and shrivel as the cactus starts to consume the water in its interior.  

In most environments, your cactus is fine going for 2 weeks or more without water. When you water, make sure there is a drain hole and water your cactus thoroughly so it can drink up as much water as it needs. Like a camel, it drinks a lot rather quickly and then does not need water for a long time. 

Light Requirements 

The fishhook cactus requires a lot of light and should be grown in either full sun or partial shade. New plants can get burned in the full sun as they were probably grown in a greenhouse; therefore, gradually increase their exposure to sunlight.  

If the sun is too bright and is burning your plant's leaves, consider purchasing a sunshade or moving the plant to a more shaded location. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Mammillaria species prefer very light, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in regular soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and, most likely, root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized potting mix that contains organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your cactus to thrive. 

Organic fertilizers also last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes that encourage plant health and nutrient absorption. So, skip those harsh chemicals and give your fishhook cactus some love with some awesome organic fertilizer once a year in the spring! 

Hardiness Zones & More 

The fishhook cactus thrives best at 65 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. If you plant it outdoors, it grows best in USDA zones 10 and 11 in cooler zones. If you live in a colder climate, you should put them in a pot and they can then be kept outdoors during the summer and brought in as the temperature drops. 

Give this Fishhook cactus - Mammillaria carretii a try if you're looking for an easy plant to care for!

Great for a teething puppy
Size: Small, Color: Pink
This is one of the best training collars we have used. So good that we ordered a second one so each dog has one and we have recommended it to several other people. It has 3 options, beeping, vibration and shock. Each option has several different settings. The collar comes in many different colors. It is very sturdy and it is waterproof. It is adjustable and the clip is very sturdy. I had previously bought a different training collar that did not phase my dog in the slightest and was a complete waste of money. It always seemed to be low on battery even after charging, this one however lasts like a week after charging. I will continue to use this brand for sure

The Toy Annie Always Comes Back To
Size: X-Small, Color: Pink
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These have become one of Annie's all-time favorite toys. Annie is a tiny 4-pound dog, and she can be surprisingly picky about toys. She has a basket full of options, but she consistently comes back to her nubby Nylabones. I think the size and texture are a big part of why she likes them so much. They're easy for her to carry around, chew on, and play with by herself. Whenever I buy a new one, it quickly becomes part of her regular toy rotation. As a small-dog owner, I appreciate finding toys that are appropriately sized and actually get used instead of being ignored after a few days. If you have a tiny dog who loves to chew, these are definitely worth trying. They've been a favorite in our house for a long time.

Dogs love these!
Size: Small, Color: Pink
My miniature Goldendoodle puppies love these! The only drawback is after several weeks of chewing, the bones develop pretty sharp edges long before the actual bone has been worn down. At that point, they are dangerous for the dog’s gums and must be thrown away.
