Mammillaria elongata 'Copper King'

[cactanna]

Hi, do you know where I can find help for my poor mammillaria elongata? this late summer it went from green to yellow and only the top of their bodies look healthy. the second pot went from dark green (copper king) to looking mildew-y, where do I find help?

oh no, sorry to hear you’re having troubles! without pictures it’s a little difficult for me to give you accurate advice. yellowing usually means not enough light and i’m really not sure what you mean by mildewy. if you send me some pictures under my submit link i can try to give you better tips! if not, taking them to a good local garden center is usually ok or go on cactiguide.com.

I actually let this mammillaria elongata (copper king) grow out of its nursery pot. Time to repot!

And then I decided to take some glamour shots...

Remember when this plant was just 3 little parts?

Where’s the time this pot only had 3 little buds...
