Product Description

Add a sharp yet elegant charm to your rare Jiaoli collection with Turbinicarpus mandragora ssp. zaragozae—commonly called White Needle Jade Jiaoli (白针玉娇丽), an exquisite subspecies celebrated for its distinctive white spines and frosty appearance!

Grown from ethically propagated premium stock, this miniature gem features a compact globular body (2-3cm in diameter at maturity) coated in a thin, waxy gray-white to pale blue-gray epidermis. Its most striking trait is the dense cluster of slender, needle-like white spines (0.5-1cm long) emerging from small conical tubercles arranged in spiral rows—these spines stand upright, creating a "white needle" effect that gives the plant its name, while maintaining the delicate essence of the "娇丽" genus.

In spring to early summer, it unfurls delicate funnel-shaped flowers in soft pink to white, measuring 1-1.5cm wide. These blooms peek through the white spines from the woolly apex of the plant, creating a lovely contrast against the gray-white epidermis and spines, and lasting for weeks—adding a gentle warmth to its sharp, refined look.
