Echinopsis subdenudata f. cristata (syn. subdenudatus) - One Off Specials
release_alert Low Stock - 1 available
Echinopsis subdenudata f. cristata is a spectacularly unique cactus that develops striking, contorted, and fan-like growth due to its crested mutation. Native to South America, this rare form arises from a genetic anomaly in the standard species, resulting in mesmerizing rippling ridges.
Distinctive Features
- Crested Growth: Develops an unusual, undulating, fan-like structure instead of a regular cylindrical shape, making each specimen one-of-a-kind.
- Spination: Features soft, white spines along its ridges, adding to its delicate, yet architectural appearance.
- Flowers: Produces large, fragrant, white, funnel-shaped blooms that open at night, enhancing its mystique.
Care Tips
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight or partial shade; avoid prolonged exposure to harsh midday sun.
- Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings; reduce watering during winter dormancy.
- Humidity: Prefers dry conditions and tolerates low humidity well.
- Media: Thrives in a well-draining cactus mix with added sand or perlite.
- Temperature: Fares best in warm temperatures between 18-30°C but requires protection from frost.
- Fertiliser: Feed with a diluted cactus fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the active growing season (spring and summer).
- Repotting: Repot infrequently, as crested cacti prefer to remain slightly root-bound.
