Highlights
Echinopsis mamillosa (Gürke): A barrel cactus from Bolivia that has ribs of raised tubercles like a Mammillaria cactus. In the wild, a mature E. mamillosa can reach 10.0" in diameter and 12.0" tall and produces few offsets around its base. This species sends up tall flowers stalks and opens its blooms on summer night. The color can vary, but they're often white and up to 4.0" wide.
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.
