Cultivation:
It is a summer grower species that offers no
cultivation difficulties. Water regularly in summer (but do not
overwater ) It is rot prone and should be planted in
a shallow pot. As most Echinopsis cultivated for their blossom, it needs
a soil mixture a little richer than the average cactus with still an
excellent drainage, keep rather dry in winter.
It is quite frost resistant if kept dry (hardy to -5°(-18°) C
Outside full sun or afternoon shade,
inside needs bright light, and some direct sun.
Propagation: Direct sow after
last frost, offsets (if available)
