Echinocereus pentalophus 'Lady Finger Cactus' Highlights:
- Echinocereus pentalophus 'Lady Finger Cactus' is a green, branching cactus lined with pink spines that can reach up to 2' in length as the cactus ages.
- Grows in a mat-like fashion spreading out as it grows.
- Produces gorgeous pink flowers that typically bloom in the spring and early summer.
- Hardy to Zone 10 (30° F). Echinocereus will not survive a hard frost. However, cactus can easily be grown indoors under grow lights or in a sunny window if there is a risk of temperatures dropping below 30° F. If there is only a risk of freezing temperatures for a few days, most succulents do just fine outside if they are covered by frost cloth or a sheet until temperatures increase (I'm talking to you, Zone 9 friends).
Echinocereus Care: As with all cactus, it is best to follow a "soak and dry" schedule where you water your plants deeply (until water runs out the bottom drain holes), and then allow your soil to dry completely before watering again. Cactus should always be planted in well-draining cactus and succulent soil and in a pot or container that has drain holes.
