Highlights
Echinopsis tiegeliana var. pusilla (Rausch): A petite cactus of round, flattened stems. It's a dark, glossy green with fuzzy areoles and long, pectinate spines. It stays under 2.5" wide with 17-20 bumpy ribs spiraling up the stem. It can bloom several times in the warmer seasons with (usually) pink flowers. 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.
