My Easter Lily Cactus
EASTER LILY CACTUS


Echinopsis oxygona, also known as  Sea Urchin cactus. The plant belonging to this species, have rounded, distinctly ribbed stems that grows into clusters. The large and showy flowers are various shades of pink, depending on the cultivars. This cactus grows rapidly, and when they have reached  about 3 inches high, produce  beautiful  pink funnel shaped flowers on long tubes. These plant grows best with 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight. Keep the soil slightly dry to the touch between thorough waterings from spring through fall  and should be kept dry in the winter.
