Mammillaria elongata cristata | Crested Copper King Cactus

The Crested Copper King (Mammillaria elongata cristata) is a funky, fan-shaped form of the popular ladyfinger cactus. Instead of growing in long finger-like clusters, this crested variety develops sculptural, coral-like crests with mesmerizing twists and folds. Its spines range from golden to coppery orange, giving the plant its regal name and fiery appearance. Occasionally, it may produce both crested and columnar stems together, making each specimen truly unique. Easy to grow and drought-tolerant, the Crested Copper King thrives in bright light and is a striking addition to any cactus or rare plant collection.
