Description:

Mammillaria elongata 'Lemon' is a small, easy-to-grow cactus that stands out because of its bright golden-yellow spines. It has small, finger-like stems that can grow up to 10 cm long and spread out as it grows. The stems aren’t sharp and are covered in golden, star-shaped spines that grow in spiral patterns.

In spring and summer, it produces small, bell-shaped flowers that can be pale yellow or light pink, adding a soft touch of colour to the plant. It's easy to care for and perfect for beginners and adds a unique look to any plant collection.

Perfect for small pots, this cactus thrives in compact spaces, requiring minimal maintenance. Like most cacti, it benefits from bright light to promote healthy spine growth, while care should be taken to avoid sunburn. With its relatively fast growth rate, this plant is a wonderful addition for collector looking to add both beauty and ease of care to their collection.

Please note: The image is representative, the plant may vary slightly since each plant is unique.

Care Guide

Light
Thrive in full sun or bright indirect light. They require at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily to grow optimally. High levels of light are needed to flower and for good spine development. Can be sunburned if moved from shade into full sun too quickly. If grown indoors, place them near a south or west-facing window where they can receive plenty of light.

Water
Water every 2–3 weeks in spring and summer, adjusting based on temperature and humidity. In the cooler months, water sparingly, about once every 4–6 weeks. Always allow the soil to dry completely between waterings and avoid letting the plant sit in water to prevent overwatering and root rot.

Soil
Requires good drainage and very porous potting mix
