ECHINOCEREUS PENTALOPHUS

Lady Finger Cactus

Mat forming plant that has a long stem with spines. The large stem flowers can be brilliant pink or magenta with a distinct white throat. Filtered sunlight is best when young but avoid the summer sun as it can burn. It is sensitive to overwatering (rot prone). Needs very good drainage to avoid rotting but requires more moisture than true desert cacti to grow and produce flowers.
