Product Description

Echinocereus sciurus is a charming, small cactus native to the desert regions of Mexico. This cactus features slender, cylindrical stems that grow in dense clusters, covered in fine, white spines. The stems are bright green, contrasting beautifully with the spines. In spring, it produces stunning, bright pink to magenta flowers with a delicate, funnel shape, adding a splash of color to its arid habitat. This rare and slow-growing cactus is perfect for enthusiasts looking to add a unique, resilient specimen to their collection.
