Product Description
Echinocereus knippelianus is a small, globular cactus known for its smooth, dark green stems and striking pink to magenta flowers. The stems are typically solitary or form small clumps, reaching up to 5 cm in height and 8 cm in diameter. This cactus is adorned with a few, short spines or may be nearly spineless. In spring and early summer, it produces large, vibrant flowers that create a stunning contrast against its dark green body. Echinocereus knippelianus is a popular choice for cactus collectors and rock gardens due to its unique, eye-catching appearance and low maintenance needs.
