Looking for a cactus that's not only easy to care for but also glows golden in winter?
Mammillaria elongata captivates with its star-shaped, golden-yellow spines that wrap around the stems like a protective shell. This cactus is forgiving of the occasional missed watering and rewards you in spring with a delicate crown of creamy-white blossoms.
Characteristics: Robust, cushion-forming, beautiful golden appearance.
Location: Sunny (perfect for a south-facing window).
Pro tip: Ideal for children or cactus novices, as the spines lie flat and are not as sharp as those of other species.
Plant group approx. 10 cm in diameter, approx. 2 cm high
