Echinocereus Coccineus (Scarlet Hedgehog Cactus) 2” — A Tiny Cactus with Fiery Blooms
Meet the Echinocereus Coccineus 2”, a compact but striking hedgehog cactus known for its brilliant scarlet-red, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in spring and summer. With its spiny, cylindrical body and clumping growth habit, this little desert gem thrives with minimal care, making it a perfect addition to any cactus or succulent collection.
The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):
• Light: Thrives in bright, direct light—a sunny windowsill or grow light will keep it happy.
• Water: Prefers a “soak and dry” routine—water deeply, then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again.
• Humidity: Thrives in low humidity—ideal for desert-like conditions.
What It’s Telling You:
• Happy Signs: Plump, firm stems with vibrant spines and seasonal blooms.
• Needs TLC: Wrinkling? It’s thirsty. Mushy or discolored? Cut back on watering. No blooms? It may need more sunlight.
Good News for Pet Parents:
This plant is not pet-safe due to its spines, so keep it away from curious paws.
