MAMMILLARIA ELONGATA (ladyfinger cactus) 2.5”
Meet the Ladyfinger Cactus: a petite powerhouse with finger-like stems covered in golden spines. Native to central Mexico, this little gem brings texture, warmth, and a desert-chic vibe to any sunny spot. Low-maintenance and endlessly charming, it’s ideal for small spaces, windowsills, or as part of a cactus collection.
The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):
• Light: Loves bright light, especially direct sun. A sunny windowsill is its happy place.
• Water: Water sparingly—let soil dry out completely between drinks. In winter, water even less.
• Humidity: Totally cool with dry air. No misting needed.
What It’s Telling You:
• Happy Signs: Plump stems, golden spines, and occasional tiny pink blooms.
• Needs TLC: Soft or shriveled fingers mean it's time to adjust watering (usually less is more).
Good News for Pet Parents:
This cactus is non-toxic to pets—but keep it out of paw’s reach due to its pokey spines.
Extra Love for Detail Lovers:
• The 2.5” size refers to the nursery pot diameter.
• Shapes, sizes, and spine patterns may vary—each one is delightfully unique.
• Great as a gift for succulent lovers or anyone needing a low-fuss green friend.
Symbolism with Style:
Ladyfinger Cactus symbolizes endurance and quiet strength—perfect for celebrating resilience, new beginnings, or just adding a sunny smile to your space.
