Highlights
Echinopsis backebergii ssp. wrightiana (Lowry) (now synonymous with E. backebergii): A great choice for the beginner cactus grower! This lime green, ribbed cactus is fuss free and very tolerant of neglect. Its small size makes it a perfect window sill plant. Look for prolific lavender to pink flowers in the spring and summer months. Each stem stays under 2.0" wide and can eventually form clusters. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.25" pot.
This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again. Keep dry in winter.
