Echinocereus morricalii

Description

Native to areas of Mexico, this small clustering species produces almost spineless stems along its many branches. The stems can become quite wrinkly during their dormant periods with little water, but they will soon plump out with some water in spring. Funnel-shaped, bold, magenta coloured flowers emerge in spring.

WATERING

Water when soil is 100% dry. Water lightly (if at all) during cold winter months.

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS

Full sun.

FEED

If not repotting then you can use a well-balanced cactus feed every month from April – September.

REPOTTING

Repot this plant every two years to replenish the soil and to allow extra room for the roots to spread out. Use a well-draining and gritty cactus compost.

POT SIZE / HEIGHT

See available sizes below. Please note that, due to their natural variability, specimens’ height may be within 10-20% of the stated height below.

Plant is supplied in its plastic nursery pot.
