Description

Echinopsis 'Lemon' is a distinctive cactus from the Cactaceae family and Echinopsis genus, renowned for its bright lemon-yellow stem. Its compact, ribbed structure features evenly distributed areoles, each adorned with short, delicate spines that provide subtle texture without harshness. The intense yellow coloration distinguishes it from typical green cacti, enhancing its appeal as a unique decorative plant.

Environment

Echinopsis Lemon Cactus  requires exposure to full sunlight or bright indirect light for optimal growth.

Water it minimally, ensuring the soil dries out thoroughly between watering sessions. Plant in a well-draining mix designed for cacti and succulents. It thrives in warm temperatures and must be shielded from frost.

Apply a diluted cactus fertilizer monthly throughout the growing season. Expect blooms from late spring to early summer.

Landscape Uses

It is an excellent plant for container growing. It always looks good and stays small and perfect for tabletops, windowsills, and rock gardens.

The easiest to keep alive - Cactus thrive on neglect! Coming from desert climates cactus love sun! However beware of the Indian afternoon sun! Keeping them in extreme heat, especially behind a glass which magnifies the heat can cause the cactus to burn. If you notice the cactus turning brown or yellow on the side facing the sun, try giving it a cooler place to thrive in!

For watering cacti, the golden rule is to make sure the soil is completely dry before watering! This will stop the roots from rotting. It is advised to always use a pot with a drainage hole so that excess water can get drained out. If kept in a sunny area, you will need to water it once every week. If it is in a semi shaded or filtered light area, you might need to water it once in 2 weeks.

Cacti like soil that is well aerated and fast draining. You can fertilise the cactus in the summer months when it is in its growing season. During the winters it is best to cut back on any fertiliser and let the plant rest.
