Description:
Mammillaria Elongata, commonly known as the Ladyfinger Cactus, is a popular and relatively small cactus species native to central Mexico. It's beloved for its distinctive, elongated, finger-like stems that branch profusely from the base, forming attractive, dense clumps. Each stem is densely covered with small, harmless, star-like yellowish or brownish spines, giving the plant a unique texture and shimmering appearance. This cactus is easy to grow, making it an excellent choice for beginners and a great addition to rock gardens, succulent arrangements, or bright windowsills. In spring and early summer, it produces small, funnel-shaped, pale yellow to whitish flowers that often form a ring around the top of the stems.

Size: Can form dense clumps, with individual stems 1-3 cm (0.4-1.2 inches) in diameter.
Color: Stems are bright green; spines are typically golden yellow, reddish-brown, or white.
