Old Lady Cactus [Bare Rooted] ^Sale

Add a touch of playful charm to your space with the Old Lady Cactus, a
delightful clustering cactus known for its prolific growth and beautiful blooms. Often
referred to as the Peanut Cactus due to its small stems resembling a cluster of
peanuts, this plant forms dense, mounding colonies over time. The Echinopsis is both
charming and rugged. Its bright green stems are covered in soft, hair-like spines that are less
intimidating than those of other cacti. As the plant matures, it produces numerous offsets,
creating a magnificent clumping form that fills its pot beautifully. The most exciting feature
of this cactus is its stunning flowers, which create a breathtaking display.

Benefits

The benefits of owning an old lady catus are numerous. Its unique, clumping
growth provides a lush look, making it a great focal point in any succulent arrangement or a
standalone piece. It's perfect for beginners due to its low-maintenance nature and forgiving
care requirements. The volume of new stems gives constant opportunities for propagation,
making it easy to expand your collection. The joy of seeing its large, vibrant blooms adds a
special element to your gardening experience.

Maintenance

A simple care guide for Old Lady Cactus is very easy to follow. This cactus thrives in a spot with
plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. While it can handle some direct sun, too much can scorch
its stems. A well-lit windowsill or a place that receives morning sun is ideal. When it comes
to watering, this plant is drought-tolerant, so use the "soak and dry" method. Water
thoroughly, then let the soil dry out completely before watering again. A well-draining cactus
and succulent mix is essential to prevent root rot.

Placement

The ideal placement for your Old Lady Cactus is in a location with ample sunlight. It makes a
beautiful indoor plant for a bright living room, a sunroom, or an office desk. Its clustering
habit also makes it an excellent choice for a wide, shallow pot where it can spread out.
