Description:
Echinocactus texensis is a robust solitary cactus (hardly clusters), also called "Candy cactus", due to its red fruits, which are used to produce candies. Its greyish-green stem has numerous clearly visible ribs, where rigid and curved radial spines and straight central ones of a greyish-pink color, emerge. In late spring you can admire its beautiful white-pink flowers. This plant is ideal for decorating your rock gardens.

Plant care:
It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 8 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce watering to once every two months in autumn, and to suspend it completely in winter.
The best option is a substrate suitable for cactaceae, as long as it is well draining.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
