Echinocereus Coccineus (Scarlet Hedgehog Cactus) 4” — A Fiery Bloomer with a Tough Spirit

Meet the Echinocereus Coccineus 4”, a resilient, sun-loving cactus known for its bold scarlet-red, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in spring and summer. With its spiny, cylindrical body and clumping growth habit, this low-maintenance desert beauty is perfect for windowsills, rock gardens, and succulent displays.

The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):

• Light: Thrives in bright, direct light—a sunny windowsill or outdoor sun exposure will bring out its best colors.

• 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 out of reach from curious paws.

Extra Love for Detail Lovers:

• The 4” size refers to the diameter of the nursery pot, not the height of the plant.
