The photos are a bit out of focus so it's a little difficult to id. It's probably a Mammillaria, but it needs more light to grow as it should.

Thank you Luther.
Yeah, it seems to be a Mammillaria. Gonna have to wait for flowers before getting an idea...
Do you have any tips for getting it to bloom?

Hi Rikesh,

Getting it to bloom... Hard to say without knowing it's particular conditions. For us the key is giving the plants a period of dormancy during the Winter which means keeping the plants dry and cool during the winter season. I wrote some suggestions on growing succulent plants on our website at http://www.karacactus.com/suggestions03.htm.
