Product Description
Matucana elongata is a unique and visually striking cactus species native to Peru. Known for its elongated, cylindrical shape, it can grow up to 15 cm in height and about 5-7 cm in diameter. This cactus is particularly notable for its deep green color and the presence of prominent ribs running along its length. Each rib is adorned with areoles that produce radial spines. These spines are usually short, adding a delicate texture to the plant's appearance.
One of the most captivating aspects of Matucana elongata is its bloom. This species produces stunning flowers that are typically a vibrant shade of red, creating a striking contrast against the green of the cactus. The flowers, which usually bloom in the summer, emerge from the top of the cactus, adding an eye-catching display to any collection.
Matucana elongata is a popular choice among cactus enthusiasts due to its distinctive shape and vibrant blooms. It is relatively easy to care for, requiring well-draining soil and moderate watering, with reduced watering in the winter. This species thrives in bright, direct sunlight, making it well-suited for sunny windowsills or outdoor rock gardens in warmer climates. Its compact size and unique appearance make it a great addition to any cactus collection, adding diversity and a touch of exotic beauty.
