Echinopsis Tubarico

Echinopsis 'Tubarico' is a remarkable cactus prized for its impressive flowering. Its globular to slightly cylindrical, dark green, and deeply ribbed body serves as a setting for large, trumpet-shaped flowers. These appear mainly in spring or summer and often open in the evening, releasing a light fragrance. Both striking and surprising, this cactus is appreciated as much for its beauty as for its ease of care.

Care

• Light : Very bright with direct or filtered sunlight. A bright exposure is essential to promote flowering.

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

• Temperature : Ideal between 18 and 30 °C. A cooler, drier period in winter helps to stimulate flowering.

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

• Flowering : Spectacular but ephemeral. A well-established plant can flower every year.

• General care : Avoid overwatering. Repot in spring if necessary. May produce offshoots when mature.
