This variety of echinopsis forms large low clusters of soft rubbery textured red-chocholate crested stems, only a few centimeters across and plant looks more like some non-cactus succulent than a cactus. Rarely a spine or a hair. This cultivar shows many growing variations with different crested and monstrous shapes.
Growth Rate
This cactus tends to grow more easily grafted, however in quite long periods it is also able to develop on its own roots.
Water and Feeding/Fertilizer
Water regularly from Spring to Autumn, but do not overwater, keep well ventilated as it is prone to root rot.
Light
Echnopsis cacti appreciate intense sun during the growing season. Move plants outdoors if possible, but acclimate to direct sunlight slowly to prevent scorching.
Propagation
Reproduction is usually by grafting, or cutting, since the plant offset abundantly.

United StatesI think they even like me!!
I Love these plants! So easy to care for. One has two flower spikes showing color even. I look at them 20/30 times a day, and mist quit often. They are so pleasant to look at and admire. I wish I could send a photo.

I would be honest when i ordered this thing I didn’t expect to be alive. But came out great. Growing healthy. Good products. I would definitely recommend this seller. Take care for their customers. they definitely ship quality plants.
United StatesDelicious!
Quickly shipped, wonderfully packaged. I've wanted this for a long time and now that it's here, it's one of the stars of my collection. (By the way, "delicious" is a joke. I would never eat a piece of this amazing plant. LOL)
United StatesSpectacular
This was the most expensive one of close to 30 Plant Desert plants I bought. I've had it for a month now, and despite the intense Palm Springs heat, it's doing incredibly well. A little growth. Looks spectacular! I would add a few photos but function not working for me for some reason.
