Epithelantha micromeris is a small cactus that grows in clusters of up to 100 stems. Each stem is up to 0.8 inches (2 cm) in diameter and up to 10 inches (25 cm) long. The spines are short, grayish-white, or reddish. Flowers are pinkish-white and appear from late winter to early spring.
To encourage better flowering, allow the plants to enjoy a cooling period in the winter and suspend watering. Unlike many other cacti, which use their ribs as storage devices, Mammillaria feature raised tubercles, from which spines emerge. When you water, the tubercles will expand to allow for increased water storage. The flowers emerge from the axils of these tubercles on the previous year's growth, which accounts for their interesting halo effect. The cactus mustn't be exposed to prolonged dampness and sitting water. Never let your cactus sit in a dish of water. Lastly, make sure to fertilize during the growing season for the best results.
