Mammillaria longimamma – Finger Cactus | Unusual Form with Bright Blooms
Distinctive Shape. Easy to Grow. A Collector’s Favorite.

Bring a playful twist to your cactus collection with Mammillaria longimamma, commonly known as the Finger Cactus or Nipple Cactus. Native to central Mexico, this charming species is known for its unusual, elongated tubercles that resemble tiny fingers—creating a sculptural, textured appearance that sets it apart from other Mammillarias.

Features:

• Unique Appearance: Elongated, cylindrical tubercles create a distinctive finger-like or nipple-like appearance, adding a playful touch to your succulent garden.

• Showy Flowers: Produces rings of small, bright yellow flowers in spring, creating a cheerful and vibrant display.

• Easy Care: Thrives in well-draining soil with minimal watering, making it a perfect choice for those new to cacti.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some direct sun, but avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the delicate skin.

• Water: Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter.

• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
