About this Item
Mammillaria elongata (Ladyfinger Cactus or Gold Lace Cactus) is a small, clustering succulent native to Mexico, known for its cylindrical, finger-like stems (6–15 cm long) and dense golden-yellow to brown spines. It forms tight, low-maintenance clumps that bloom with small white, yellow, or pinkish flowers in spring, making it a popular ornamental plant.
Key Characteristics & Description
- Stem Structure: The cactus is characterized by bright green, cylindrical stems, 1.5 to 3.7 cm in diameter, which grow in dense, bushy clusters.
- Spines: Each tubercle is crowned with 15–30 radial spines that are curved and interlocking, giving it a lacy, golden appearance. It typically lacks central spines, or has 1-3, which are usually yellow or brown.
- Flowers & Fruit: It produces small (1.5 cm) flowers in late winter to early summer, ranging from white to pale yellow or pinkish, often with a darker pink/reddish stripe. Fruits are small, cylindrical, and reddish.
- Habit: It is a low-growing plant, rarely exceeding 15 cm in height in pots, though it spreads laterally to form dense mats.
- Common Cultivars: Includes M. elongata ‘Pink Nymph’ (pink flowers) and M. elongata ‘Cristata’ (brain-like, crested form).
