Latin name: Mammillaria elongata
Common name: Ladyfinger Cactus / Golden Stars Cactus
Mammillaria elongata is a compact clustering cactus known for its elongated finger-shaped stems covered in tight golden or reddish spines that give it a sparkling appearance. It grows in dense clumps and stays small, making it perfect for indoor decoration and cactus collections. Over time it can form a beautiful cluster and may produce small white or pale yellow flowers.
For indoor care in Kuwait, place it in bright indirect light or gentle morning sunlight. Use well-draining cactus soil and water only when the soil is fully dry. In AC conditions, watering every 10–14 days is usually enough, and reduce watering during winter. Provide good airflow, avoid humid corners, and keep it in warm indoor temperatures, as this species prefers dry conditions.
