Collectible variety. Limited availability.

Colours may vary. The plant's intense color is mostly in Spring and Summer, after exposure to sun.

A unique cactus, perhaps the most beautiful variety Echinocereus thanks to its special colours. It is also called 'rainbow cactus' because its spines vary in intensity of colouration in each year of growth and so from a distance it appears to have layers of different colours.

It is not one of the easiest cacti to maintain, but if grown correctly it is very impressive. It is very sensitive to overwatering and so needs a substrate with excellent drainage. It prefers a neutral to acidic substrate with plenty of extra gravel.

Ideally rainwatering when possible and adding iron fertilizer occasionally leads to better plant growth.

Several hours of sun exposure is needed for the best display of its striking colour. In winter it needs bright, cool locations and perfectly dry conditions.

Very resistant to low temperatures (-12°C or lower for short periods).

Origin: Mexico (Chihuahua).

English

Also called "Rainbow cactus", because with the prolonged exposure to the direct sun, it takes on shades, ranging from pink to red and purple.

It is of a columnar shape and has combed red-white spines. In spring, at the apex of the plant, large and beautiful bright magenta flowers bloom.

It is a delicate cactus, because it is sensitive to rotting and for this reason it is not very easy to grow.

Care

It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 8 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once a week in spring and summer and suspend watering completely in winter.
A medium porous substrate, consisting of soil mixed with sand, which makes it well draining. is an optimal solution.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
