Lady Finger Cactus (Mammillaria elongata) Description and Planting Instructions
Description:
Scientific Name: Mammillaria elongata
Common Names: Lady Finger Cactus, Gold Lace Cactus, Golden Star Cactus
Family: Cactaceae
Origin: Native to central Mexico
Appearance: The Lady Finger Cactus is a small, cylindrical cactus that forms dense clusters of finger-like stems. Each stem is covered in a dense array of short, golden to reddish-brown spines that give the cactus a fuzzy appearance. The stems can grow up to 6 inches (15 cm) long and 0.8 inches (2 cm) in diameter. In the spring, it produces small, white to pale yellow flowers along the sides of the stems.
Planting Instructions
1. Choosing the Right Location
Climate:
Temperature: The Lady Finger Cactus prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate temperatures down to about 25°F (-4°C) for short periods. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 9-11.
Sunlight: This cactus requires full sun to partial shade. It does best in bright, indirect light when grown indoors.
Soil:
Type: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix. If using regular potting soil, amend it with sand or perlite to improve drainage.
pH: The optimal soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral, between 6.0 and 7.0.
2. Preparing the Planting Site
Containers:
Pot Selection: Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent water from sitting in the soil, which can cause root rot.
Soil Preparation: Fill the pot with the cactus soil mix, leaving enough room to place the cactus.
3. Planting the Lady Finger Cactus
Timing:
Season: Planting is best done in the spring or early summer when the cactus is actively growing.
Planting:
Removing from Container: Carefully remove the cactus from its current container, being mindful of the spines. Using gloves or tongs can help protect your hands.
Placement: Place the cactus in the new pot at the same depth it was previously growing.
Backfilling: Fill in around the cactus with the soil mix, gently firming it down to support the plant.
4. Watering
Frequency: Water the Lady Finger Cactus thoroughly, but allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Method: Water at the base of the plant to avoid getting water on the stems, which can cause rot.
5. Light and Temperature
Indoors: Place the cactus in a south or west-facing window where it can receive bright, indirect sunlight.
Outdoors: If grown outdoors, ensure it is in a location with plenty of sunlight but some protection from the harsh midday sun to prevent scorching.
6. Fertilizing
Type: Use a balanced, water-soluble cactus fertilizer.
Frequency: Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize during the winter when the cactus is dormant.
7. Pest and Disease Management
Pests: Watch for common cactus pests such as mealybugs, spider mites, and scale. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Diseases: Root rot is the most common issue, caused by overwatering. Ensure proper watering practices and good drainage to prevent it.
8. Repotting
Frequency: Repot the Lady Finger Cactus every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and accommodate growth.
Timing: Repot in the spring, just before the growing season begins.
9. Propagation
Offsets: The Lady Finger Cactus produces offsets (pups) around the base of the main stems. These can be removed and potted separately to grow new plants.
Method: Allow the offsets to dry for a day or two after removal to callus over, then plant them in a well-draining cactus mix.
Additional Tips
Winter Care: Reduce watering in the winter months when the cactus is dormant. Keep it in a cooler location but protect it from frost.
Handling: Be careful when handling the Lady Finger Cactus due to its spines. Using gloves or tools can help prevent injury.
With proper care and attention to its specific needs, the Lady Finger Cactus can be a delightful and low-maintenance addition to your plant collection.

The Success Principles is a must have in any "success" book home library...
Format: Paperback
I read the first version of The Success Principles back in 2009 and I honestly felt like I came across one of the best and most complete resources for success (and really life) I have ever read. I was even more thrilled when I discovered there was The Success Principles for Teens because finding effective ways to teach these life tools and techniques to my daughters has always been a top priority, and challenge. My oldest daughter has not only read it, she has even referred back to some of the principles when I obviously break them :). I had all but forgotten pre-ordering this updated version of The Success Principles until I got the surprise package in the mail today. All of the core content in this version is still there, but what was exciting to read were the new success stories included of people that bought the original book and had breakthroughs. The completely new content included is "Success in the Digital Age" and it is a fantastic resource. I would consider myself very knowledgeable when it comes to technology and Internet Marketing (having worked as a Sr. System Engineer for over a decade and years learning and implementing various Internet Marketing solutions), and I can say this addition is fantastic. The content and advice he managed to include in just five chapters is impressive, and spot on. If topics like social media, technology, and online branding are areas that are a weakness, or you want to learn more about the most effective ways to leverage these and other technical solutions used by some of the most successful leaders in this space, than you will love this addition to the book. I will end this review by saying I am life coach, and resources like these are gold. I am constantly referring back to this text before and after sessions. I am a huge fan of countless self-help experts and bestselling authors, and I have a huge list of books I love and regularly recommend, but none are such a complete resource like this book. As one of the "experts" in this space said about this book, trying to just identify the "big ideas" included in this book is virtually impossible, because everything he includes IS a "big idea." So if you are a fan of this type of content this is a must have in your library, if only for a reference.

Success Principles is a handbook you definitely want to carry with you.
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
Many of us are looking for ways to improve our lives, our relationships, and our business. We read books, take training and hire coaches. And these things work. Whether you are new in your quest to self improvement, or a seasoned veteran, the Success Principles is one of the “must read” handbooks you want to read, apply and keep at your side. It contains 67 principles described in a concise, simple to understand entertaining way. Each of these principles by itself is certain to bring positive change in different aspects in your life. As a group they are certain to move your life forward. You will learn how to improve your relationships by listening and asking for feedback. You will learn to focus on those things that truly matter and let go of the good to leave time and resources for the great. You will learn ways to take care of yourself, put yourself in touch with your thoughts and your emotions, and slow your mind down so that you can be creative, concentrate and work more effectively. You will learn ways to communicate with others, to tap into “masterminds”, to ask for what you need, to overcome resistance, obstacles and fears and to move forward. I am a fan of the Success Principles and Jack Canfield's work. Everything contained in this book is taught in his seminars. Powerful yet simple techniques. Buy the book. Read it. And then, every few days concentrate on bringing one of the principles into your life. Sit back and enjoy the results.

Solid Advice & Inspiration for Anyone Looking to Reach their Goals!
Format: Paperback
Overall, I enjoyed reading The Success Principles and found most of the practical advice to be solid and inspirational. I especially liked the discussions about using vision boards, mastermind groups, and other practical techniques. I found many other suggestions to be helpful, but common knowledge (e.g.., setting goals, thinking positive, find a mentor, and the 80/20 principle). My only complaints about this book including being WAY too wordy at 550 pages (should have been half that length!) and the occasional reference to something odd called the Law of Attraction (which is sounds to me like some kind of "new age theory"... I don't buy it). Regardless of those downsides, I still think this book is worth the read for anyone looking for a self-help book that motivates you and gives you practical tools to reach your goals.

The Bible of Self-Improvement
Format: Kindle
First, let's get something out of the way... which version to buy. I ordered my copy on launch day and after dealing with 48 hours of anxiety waiting for it to show up, I couldn't take it any longer and ordered the Kindle version as well. Bottom line... You need them both. One to have right away and always with you, and the book itself to markup, highlight, write in the margins and run through the ringer. Everything in the 2005 release is here, but there's more... so much more. Updated stories from people who have implemented The Success Principles, where they started, and where they are today will keep you engaged and on the edge of your seat. You won't be able to put this book down (but you really have to so you can implement). It is written with the mastery of a thriller novel, yet finessed ever so finely so that you not only learn the principles, but implement them. The new section, "Success in the Digital Age" fills a desperate void. We are overloaded with information, new technology and social media platforms. Most people are guilty of these being replacements for other time-wasting activities but fail to monetize and take advantage of them. Jack clearly lays out how to do it, instead of the digital age controlling you. I've been on pins and needles waiting for the Tenth Anniversary Edition (even though I read the first version 7 times). It is everything you could ask for (and more) in a self-help book. Ordered ten more copies to give as gifts (and so that at least one is always in my office). Congratulations on a job extremely well done. No stone was left unturned.

This book could not only change your life... it could change the world!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book is an absolute must read for anyone who wishes to achieve a more successful and happier life. Jack Canfield reveals the specific requirements, methods and principles for breaking through and achieving success in life, work, health and love. So whether you need to boost your team's revenues at the office, expand your personal creativity to figure out that big idea, break out of a negative pattern that is keeping you from finding love, or simply to create more balance in your life, this book will help you pave the way to achieving true and sustainable success. I'd like to add that after I read this book, I loved it so much that I took Jack's life changing workshop - Breakthrough to Success - and I can testify that this stuff works! Because of the workshop and finding the will to follow the timeless principles in this book, I have finally found how to achieve multiple breakthroughs that were eluding me over the years. Yes, the Success Principles absolutely work! One more thing - recently, I've been serving as a strategic consultant to a global humanitarian organization on a project that will transform the lives of millions of people - this has given me the privilege of traveling and meeting people all over the world, including poverty stricken countries like Somalia. (For fun, I'll attach a pix of me in a slum in Rawalpindi Pakistan.) I now see that the one vital component for transforming and lifting the Third World out of poverty is to shift consciousness in exactly the way that the Success Principles encourages. Therefore, I am 100% in support of Jack's vision of bringing the Success Principles to millions of people all over the world. I'm all in!
