Echinopsis | Easter Lily Cactus

The Echinopsis, also known as the Easter Lily cactus, is prized for its spectacular and fragrant blooms. Its large, trumpet-shaped flowers, often white or slightly pink, open mainly in spring or early summer, offering a striking contrast to its dark green, ribbed body. Easy to care for and surprisingly prolific, it's an excellent choice for lovers of flowering cacti.

Care

• Light : Very bright, direct or filtered sunlight. Good exposure promotes flowering.

• Watering : Moderate. Water when the soil is completely dry. Reduce watering significantly in winter.

• Temperature : Ideal between 18 and 30°C. Tolerates heat well. A cooler period in winter helps to trigger flowering.

• Substrate : Very well-draining potting soil for cacti and succulent plants.

• Flowering : The flowers are ephemeral but spectacular. A well-established plant can flower every year.

• General care : Avoid overwatering. Repot as needed in spring. May produce suckers at the base.
