Highlights
Echinopsis hertrichiana (Hunt): This Peruvian native has gorgeous flowers of scarlet and white. It's a globose cactus and tends to have long, straw colored spines. This is an easy grower that flowers readily in the spring or summer. At maturity it can develop 11 sharp ribs and reach up to 4.0" wide. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" 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.
