The Mammillaria elongata f. cristata, commonly known as the Brain Cactus, is a distinctive and fascinating addition to any cactus collection. Originating from the diverse landscapes of central Mexico, this rare cultivar of the Mammillaria elongata species is renowned for its unique crested shape, reminiscent of a human brain. This striking feature, combined with its ease of care, makes it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced succulent enthusiasts.

This cactus thrives in a well-draining, mineral-rich soil, preferably a specialized cacti mix. Its light requirements are modest, flourishing in full to partial sun. Ideally, it enjoys the gentler morning sun, avoiding the harsher afternoon rays. Its water needs are minimal, typical of succulents, requiring dry spells between watering sessions. Overwatering should be avoided to maintain its health and structural integrity.

The Brain Cactus is not just a visual treat; it also blossoms in spring and summer, producing small, cream-colored, funnel-shaped flowers. These delicate blooms add a charming contrast to its green, crested, and prostrate stems, adorned with white spines. This clump-forming, perennial cactus reaches an average height and width of about 15cm, making it a perfect fit for indoor and outdoor settings.

Mammillaria elongata f. cristata is a low-maintenance plant, requiring little more than the right soil, adequate light, and sparse watering. However, it's important to note that this cactus, while non-toxic, should be kept out of reach of children and pets due to its spiny nature.

In summary, the Brain Cactus is not only a visually intriguing plant but also an easy-to-care-for addition to your succulent collection. Its unique appearance and minimal care requirements make it an excellent choice for those looking to add a touch of nature's wonder to their home or garden.

spray nozzle needs work.
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I purchased 3 of these cans. Only one of them worked and that one was ok. Sprayed well, smelled good and and protected my skin and even though it was hard to press it to work, we WERE able to use it, but the other three .............? They would not rotate to the unlock position, therefore they would not spray. My husband and I tried everything to get it to rotate. It seems both the top and bottom ring spin around effectively doing nothing. So to pay almost $40 for only one can to work is definitley not worth the money. Buy somewhere else.

Great product! Highly recommend! Worth the money
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Our family absolutely loves Alba sunscreen! It’s light, not super greasy, and smells really good. Everytime I see it on sale, I buy more of it! My husband is a red head, and he has to wear sunscreen all the time, and he prefers Alba brand over any others. Great Product!

Like the sunscree - not the spray can
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Sunscreen itself did a great job with our snorkeling and scuba diving. Long lasting and didn't rub off in spots where masks and other things can leave spots unprotected. However, the spray can itself was difficult. Even when being sure it was completely in the unlocked position, it would take me two thumbs at full pressure to get it started spraying at times. Definitely, only a couple of us in the party were the appliers as we could get it started.

Love it! Eco-friendly and Easy-to-Use Spray

I really like the Alba Botanicals Coconut Clear Spray! Not only does it give me a refreshing coconutty vibe, but it’s also biodegradable and cruelty-free, which is important to me. 🐰♻️ The spray-on application is a breeze, and I love how it doesn’t leave that annoying greasy feeling on my skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished. Perfect for those sunny beach days or any time I need a quick spritz of hydration. I highly recommend this coconut clear spray to everyone who values eco-friendly choices and easy-to-use skincare products.

Great product, bad packaging
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I love this sunscreen! I use it on myself and my child and it works very well. However, the spray nozzle on one of the cans is locked and it will not work. I have tried to turn the lock, lift it up, etc., to no avail. This item is also not returnable. $20 for 1 can of sunscreen is quite expensive.
