Product Description

Eriosyce reichei is a small, globular cactus native to the arid regions of northern Chile. This species typically grows solitary or forms small clusters. The stems are dark green, often with a slightly flattened top, and are covered with prominent ribs and tubercles. The spines are straight and stiff, ranging in color from yellow to dark brown. Eriosyce reichei produces funnel-shaped flowers that are bright pink to magenta, emerging from the apex. This cactus 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.
