Product Description
The Echinocereus caespitosus is a captivating cactus renowned for its dense spines and beautiful blooms. This cactus typically forms small clusters of cylindrical stems with a dark green hue. The stems are adorned with pronounced ribs and areoles, from which emerge clusters of long, sharp spines that range in color from white to brown. In spring, it produces large, striking flowers that are typically pink to magenta, creating a vibrant display. Native to the rocky regions of the southwestern United States and Mexico, the Echinocereus caespitosus is hardy and visually appealing, making it a delightful addition to any cactus collection.
