Echinopsis Crested
Add a touch of the extraordinary to your cactus collection with the fascinating Echinopsis 'Crested'. This unique cactus is a mutated form of the classic Echinopsis species, featuring a distinctive, unpredictable growth habit that results in captivating crested or "monstrose" shapes.
Features:
Crested Growth: This cactus exhibits fasciation, where the growing tip flattens and fans out, creating unpredictable curves, waves, and brain-like folds. No two plants are exactly alike, making each one a unique addition to your collection.
Stunning Texture: The crested form creates intricate patterns of ridges and valleys, adding a mesmerizing textural element to any display.
Spiny Accents: While the growth is unpredictable, the stems are typically covered in small, sharp spines, adding a touch of contrast and protection.
Blooming Potential: Under the right conditions, it may produce large, white, fragrant flowers that bloom at night, adding a touch of elegance to its unusual form.
Easy Care: This resilient cactus is easy to care for, thriving in well-draining soil and bright light. It is drought-tolerant and can withstand periods of neglect, making it an excellent choice for beginner and experienced cacti enthusiasts alike.
Care Tips:
Light: Provide bright, indirect light or partial shade. In hotter climates, provide some afternoon shade to prevent sunburn.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, allowing excess water to drain completely.
Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix specifically formulated for cacti and succulents.
Ideal for:
Adding a Unique Touch: Its unusual form makes it a conversation starter and a standout addition to any cactus collection or succulent arrangement.
Rock Gardens: Its hardiness and drought tolerance make it suitable for rock gardens or xeriscapes.
Container Gardening: This cactus thrives in pots and containers, adding a sculptural element to patios or windowsills.
The first photo serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 190mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
