Mammillaria saboae is a low clustering, mat-forming geophyte succulent.
Stem: Tiny, round, soft-bodied, 10-20 mm in diameter, 20-40 mm tall. axils bare, without latex. Axil without any wool and bristles.

Clustering in cultivation and easily flowered it is not really easy. It has a thick tuberous root system and is susceptible to over-watering, and it's especially prone to rot. Therefore, underpot in a shallow pot with good drainage, filled with a very open mineral-based potting mix, and only use the smallest diameter pot that will accommodate the plant. . Plants need to be kept dry in winter. Feed with a high potassium fertilizer in summer. Can be sunburned if moved from shade/greenhouse into full sun too quickly. During the spring it may be able to take full sun until the heat arrives at the end of spring. In an area that has hot afternoon sun, it may be able to take full morning sun, but requires afternoon shade or afternoon light shade. If grown correctly, it will reward the grower with generous displays of huge pink-violet flowers.
Initially this species appears easy to cultivate, but the grower should not be surprised if clumps suddenly dry up, especially in the winter season. Hardy to -5°C.

Pot size 3.25".
