Yes, if kept indoors they can flower year round! Whenever they are happy!

It definitely looked like it's blooming, so pretty 😍

@SirLiquorice · Answer

Yep that’s awesome.  Looks like the flowers on mine.  If they get pollinated then they will grow fruit with seeds after the flowers are gone.

@SirLiquorice · Answer

You have it listed as a mother of hundreds but it appears to be a mammillaria of some type. You can update the plant type to help make more accurate watering reminders.  But it’s probably similar watering habits to a mother of hundreds

@Jeroen those are also mammillarias but I am not sure exactly what type.  As long as you have it identified as a mammillaria then watering reminders should be accurate enough.  Just make sure not to overwater.  Some are a little more rot prone than others.  Always better to underwater than overwater

@SirLiquorice · Answer

@Jeroen I have multiple different mammillarias.  Some have different color flowers.  But since there are so many types it can be confusing trying to identify which exact type of mammillaria it is

@SirLiquorice · Answer

This one flowers non stop.  All year it has had flowers since winter ended.  It was covered in flowers all over

@SirLiquorice · Answer

@Jeroen I don’t think the flowers will ever change color.  I have different mammillarias and some just have different color flowers

@SirLiquorice · Answer

This is when it was much smaller

@SirLiquorice · Answer

This was the same cactus around September of last year

@SirLiquorice · Answer

In a year it has gotten huge and went from one flower to covered in flowers
