Highlights
Mammillaria elongata 'Copper King' Crested: A crested version of the popular Mammillaria elongata 'Copper King'. Like the normal form, this cactus features coppery red spines which emerge from white areoles on a forest green stem. Unlike the normal form, this cactus twists and gnarls into a chaotic shape. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.
This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
