Cactus Care & FAQs

•Light: Place your Echinocereus triglochidiatus in a location that receives full sun for the best growth and flowering. It can tolerate partial shade, but bright light is essential.

•Water: Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

•Soil: Use well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix. Avoid regular potting soil, which can retain too much moisture.

•Temperature: This cactus is hardy in USDA zones 7-11 and can tolerate temperatures down to 10°F. Protect it from frost during colder months.

•Feeding: Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced cactus fertilizer diluted to half strength.

•Potting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a pot with drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.

•Pests: Generally pest-resistant, but watch out for common cactus pests like mealybugs and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with appropriate insecticides or natural remedies.

•Propagation: Can be propagated from offsets (pups) that form around the base of the plant. Carefully separate and plant in well-draining soil.

Beautiful cactus!

Decided to order the hedgehog cactus and upon receiving it, it’s larger than I anticipated and I absolutely love it! Has a few blooms on it already too. Go ahead and order one today!!

Spectacular!

I can't believe how large this is. I was expecting a mini cactus. This is an 8 inch pot (across). As you can see from the photo it has 3+ stems. And a bloom starting. Can't wait to see it open.
Thank you Cactus Warehouse!
