Mammillaria elongata 'Red' is a captivating cultivar of the popular Ladyfinger Cactus, known for its cylindrical stems covered in dense, copper-red spines. Native to central Mexico, this small yet prolific species forms attractive clumps, making it a favourite among collectors. With its easy-care nature and striking appearance, it thrives in containers, rock gardens, and arid landscapes.

Care Tips

  • Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade for optimal colour intensity.
  • Water: Allow soil to dry completely between watering; reduce frequency in winter.
  • Humidity: Adapted to low humidity; excessive moisture can cause rot.
  • Temperature: Tolerates temperatures down to 5°C but thrives in warm, dry conditions.
  • Fertiliser: Apply a diluted cactus fertiliser during the growing season (spring and summer).
  • Potting: Use a well-draining cactus mix with added sand or perlite.
  • Propagation: Easily propagated via offsets, which can be separated and replanted.
