Echinocereus rigidissimus var. rubispinus

Description

Pretty clusters of raspberry spines sit tightly side by side giving this cactus its unique pink colouring. Once mature, huge pink flowers bloom in rings at its crown – this little Mexican native is all about pink.

WATERING

Allow the soil to dry out 100% before watering – if soil is very dry, soak in water during hotter months. Limit watering in winter months. Prefers rain water.

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS

Full sun.

FEED

Use a cactus fertiliser every other time you water during March – November. Occasionally, use a very diluted iron solution as this cactus prefers neutral to slightly acidic conditions.

REPOTTING

Repot or change soil every 2 years.
