Product Description

Eriosyce esmeraldana is a small, globular to cylindrical cactus native to the Esmeralda region in northern Chile. This species often forms clusters of multiple heads. The stems are dark green, covered with prominent ribs and tubercles. The spines are short, straight, and vary in color from yellowish to dark brown. It produces funnel-shaped flowers that are typically pink to reddish-pink, emerging from the apex. Eriosyce esmeraldana thrives in well-draining, sandy to rocky soils and requires full sun. It is highly drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during the growing season.
