Description:
Commonly called "rose cactus" in reference to its wonderful flowers, it is a cactacea with a decidedly particular appearance, at first glance very similar to a succulent with a shrubby character, capable of reaching 4 meters in height in nature. It consists of slender woody and branched stems, often enriched with thorns, from which soft elliptical and pointed leaves, up to 20 cm long, grow. The epidermis, of a lively emerald green, is slightly furrowed by veins on the upper surface and is extremely shiny and smooth. At the end of summer, the charm of Pereskia is further accentuated by clusters of large pink flowers with a showy yellow center, extremely elegant and refined.

Plant care:
It requires a lot of brightness during all seasons and rather airy places.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 12 °C, in order to avoid it losing the leaves. Otherwise the plant will enter dormancy and lose its leaves.
Water regularly but moderately in spring-summer, always making sure that the soil is always dry between one watering and another one. During the winter period, reduce watering to once every two months, avoiding stagnation of water.
A well-draining soil is an optimal solution, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
