6" Gold Lace Cactus

Gold Lace Cactus (Mammillaria elongata ‘Gold Lace’)
The Gold Lace Cactus is a charming, low-maintenance cactus with clusters of cylindrical stems covered in golden-yellow spines that look soft and lace-like. Its compact, clustering growth habit makes it perfect for small pots, windowsills, or succulent arrangements, where it adds both texture and sparkle. In the right conditions, it can even produce small white or pale yellow blooms.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Prefers bright, direct sunlight—ideal for a sunny window or outdoor spot in summer
💧 Water: Very drought tolerant; let soil dry completely before watering again
🌫 Humidity: Thrives in dry air; no added humidity needed
❄️ Temperature: Keep warm and above 50°F; protect from frost
🐾 Pet Friendly: No (toxic if ingested, and spines are sharp)

Fun Fact: The Gold Lace Cactus is a cultivar of Mammillaria elongata, commonly called the “Ladyfinger Cactus.” Its golden spines create such a dense covering that the green stems are often completely hidden, making the whole plant look like it’s glowing. 🌵✨
