About Echinopsis Chamaecereus H Friedrich & Glaetzle

Echinopsis Chamaecereus is a small, multi-branched cactus with rounded bodies, typically adorned with bright green skin, occasionally sprinkled with gray. Their bodies are densely covered with small spines, usually white or brown. This cactus is native to the northern regions of Argentina. In spring, it blooms with vibrant-colored flowers.

How to care for Echinopsis Chamaecereus H Friedrich & Glaetzle

Sun/Temperature: This cactus grows best in bright sunlight, but should avoid direct light in summer heat and humidity. The suitable temperature ranges from 59°F to 77°F, with short-term tolerance to temperatures as low as 30°F.

Soil/Watering: Use well-draining fertile soil, adding some perlite or sand to standard cactus soil. It is drought-tolerant but not resistant to waterlogging, so watering should be moderate. To prevent root rot, ensure the soil is completely dry before watering again.

Pot: Choose pots with suitable drainage holes to promote healthy root growth. You can choose pots that match the characteristics of the plant, such as smaller pots to highlight its compact growth habit or brightly colored pots to enhance the visual effect.

Propagation: This cactus is suitable for propagation through stem cuttings. The best time for propagation is in spring to summer when temperatures are warmer. Cut the branches, dry them before planting them in moist, fertile soil, and wait for new growth.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
