  • Known as the ladyfinger cactus, Mammillaria elongata forms clusters of cylindrical stems with yellow-brown spines, giving plants an overall golden-brown appearance.

  • Pink-yellow flowers may appear in spring.

  • Easy to grow, it’s a great cactus for beginners. Its offshoots may be used to propagate new plants. For best results grow Mammillaria elongata in cactus compost in containers in full sun. Water from mid-spring to summer only, and feed once a month with a special cactus fertiliser.

  • Mammillaria elongata is best grown as a houseplant but containers may be moved to a sunny, sheltered patio in midsummer.

  • All of the plants may be shipped bare root.
  • Partial sun, partial shade.

  • Porous, well-drained.

  • This cactus prefers cooler temperatures, so avoid placing it close to any heat sources. But also protect the plant from frost and freezing temperatures.

  • Try not to overwater the plant, but you can mist its leaves every other day to maintain its preferred level of humidity (50-60%).

  • Generally non-toxic to humans and animals
