Echinopsis chamaecereus 'Peanut cactus'

The Peanut Cactus (Echinopsis chamaecereus) (Friedrich & Glaetzle) is a low-maintenance cactus perfect for beginners. Its distinctive finger-like stems can reach up to 12.0" in length and gracefully cascade from its pot. In late spring, it presents stunning large flowers in shades of orange to red. This Argentinian species forms a dense, creeping mat of stems and features short, bristly spines that are surprisingly gentle.As a young plant, the Peanut cactus resembles a peanut, but as it grows older, it elongates and begins to cascade out of its container. It is known for easily producing offsets, creating a charming cluster of cacti. It is sensitive to frost, so if there is a chance of freezing temperatures, bring it inside to thrive on a sunny windowsill or under a grow light.
