Echinopsis oxygona, also known as the Easter Lily Cactus, is a species of cactus native to South Brazil, Uruguay, and northern Argentina. It is a globular to cylindrical cactus that can grow up to 12 inches tall and 18 inches wide.
-
Its stems are covered in many sharp spines, and produce large flowers (up to 6 inches in diameter) with white or pink petals. The flowers are not only showy but have a light-pleasing scent, they open in the evening and close by midday.
- All of the plants may be shipped bare root.
-
The Echinopsis oxygona is easy to care for and can be grown indoors or outdoors. When grown outdoors, it prefers full sun and should be placed in a bright window when grown indoors.
-
Use a sharp well draining soil, and allow all excess water to run off every time you water.
-
Water it deeply during the growing season (spring and summer) and sparingly during the winter. Be careful not to overwater the cactus, as this can lead to root rot.
-
These cacti are not toxic but remember they are also not soft and cuddly. Keep your Echinopsis oxygona out of the reach of kids and pets to avoid uncomfortable injuries.
- USDA hardiness zones 8 to 11
