Cultivation: E.
bristolli is relatively easy to grow and
very attractive. Rot easily it is sensitive to
overwatering (rot prone), so perfect soil drainage is a must.
It prefer a neutral to slightly acidic compost
with plenty of extra grit. Best if watered with rain water and
given an occasional tonic of sequestrated iron. In
the summer they need an airy location in bright sun; well watered when
it's hot. To achieve the best spine colours give
these plants lots of sun. In the winter light,
cool, and absolutely dry conditions. Very cold
resistant above approx -12C or less for short
periods of time. In mild climate they grow
well when planted freely outside in well-drained soil.
Propagation: Seeds
