RARE PLANT

You're lucky you found me!

Happiest in direct sunlight
Low water requirements
Express delivery service

Admired for their knobbly green cylindrical stems with spines that transition from white to red as they grow, these captivating 'Alba' Lady Fingers Cactis are tropical delights that are sure to spark fascination and conversation wherever they go. When young they start off with just a few stems jutting out from their pot, but as they mature lots of new stems come along, giving them a wonderfully distinct rosette style as they flow outwards from the centre. Their low maintenance makes them great for beginners, and they're a must have if you're looking to start or build upon your very own indoor jungle!

Please note decorative pots are sold separately and your plant may vary naturally to that shown depending on size selected and growth variance. Each plant tends to be different, just like us!

Houseplant Size Guide

Plant height measurement: How we measure the height of our houseplants from pot to top

At Houseplant.co.uk, we want to ensure that you choose the perfect plant for your space. Here's how we measure our plants:

Plant Height:

Measured from the base of the nursery pot to the top of the plant, including the full length of the stem and foliage.

Pot Size:

Refers to the total width across the top of the pot.

Choosing the Right Size

To find the perfect fit, compare the diameter of your plant's grow pot to the opening diameter of your chosen decorative pot. Ensure the decorative pot is at least 1-3cm larger in diameter than the grow pot for easy insertion and removal.

Important Notes

  • Plant sizes are approximate and include the depth of the plant pot and roots, not just the height from the top of the soil.
  • If a specific plant size is not available, we may provide a larger plant at no additional cost to you.
  • All of our plants, unless otherwise stated are supplied in a nursery pot with the exception of air plants or lucky bamboo or otherwise listed in the product description.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Lady Fingers Cactus | Alba Care Guide

Caring for your Lady Fingers Cactus is a breeze! Simply place it in a warm spot with plenty of bright sunlight and water each time its soil has fully dried. Avoid repotting on arrival to minimise root stress, but use a well/free draining succulent & cacti mix once roots poke through its pot drainage holes for continued happy development. Optionally feed once per month from Spring to Autumn for a growth boost.
