Cochemiea is a fascinating genus of small to medium-sized cacti native to North and Central America, characterized by their rounded or oval bodies, beautiful spines, and often striking, fragrant flowers in vibrant shades of red, pink, or white. Known for their resilience and attractive appearance, Cochemiea plants are popular for their low maintenance and unique beauty. An interesting fact is that some species, formerly classified under the genus Mammillaria, produce stunning, edible, berry-like fruits that add to their allure.
