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!

Please read!
Color: Ultra, Size: Large
This dog ball is so useful! We have a large property and we use the Chuckit! thrower with the ball. The color and material of the toy is very high-quality and lasts for a long time. We have been using the Chuckit! brand for a long time now and we love their dog products! It is a good price and we buy replacement balls like once or twice every 6 months because they keep getting lost in bushes or trees 😂 After some time the color of the ball gets washed out and since our dogs are aggressive chewers, one of the balls we got broke and split open, but it was still usable! The reason that one broke is because we had it for a HECKA LONG TIME! It has no squeaker so when your dog has the ball it wont make any loud and annoying sounds. It is easy to pick up with the thrower and it seems durable and sturdy enough to last them a few months. I don't recommend as a cat toy because this ball is specifically designed for dogs. But is your cat likes fetch i guess it could work! The ball is soft enough to not be hard as steel, but is sturdy enough to not break immediately.

Great ball!
Color: Ultra, Size: Large
Our puppy loves this ball. It has held up well so far, it’s about 2 weeks now of large breed pup play. It’s been outside for the last week, rain or shine, still in working order. Not as big as I thought it would be though. No squeak, bounces well. Thick rubber like material, that can be depressed when biting down.

Durable, even for a Great Dane!
Color: Ultra, Size: XXL
I've bought many tennis ball sized ChuckIt balls in the past (for medium sized dogs we've owned), so when we knew we were going to be babysitting our daughter's Great Dane, I bought a bigger one for her. The 4" is perfect for her! She plays catch with it, but also likes to gnaw on it. It holds up great!
