This
cultivar is really different and original, it has a characteristic
white
tomentose line that connect the
areoles one to each other.
|
 |
Notes:
This Japanese
cultivar
has a very peculiar
rib shape. The
woolly
areoles on the
ribs have a felty line between them so it seems like the areoles are connected
with each other. It is thought that this interesting cultivar is a
chimaeric plant composed of two
genetically different
strata of
cells. This
meristematic
mutation originated probably from a
normal Echinopsis. The
flowers like most other
Echinopsis hybrid are
long trumpet shaped white and scented. This plant can grow quite
fast.
Reproduction: From cutting, since the plant
offset abundantly. These offsets can be detached and planted
immediately as they root easily with no assistance when they touch the
ground. |
