Echinofossulocactus Ri8

Echinofossulocactus Ri8 Small growing and easy to to care and flower. Because of it’s small size makes a great potted plant specimen, great for beginning collectors. as they become mature, they attain a maximum size of 20 cm. grow them under drier conditions or with stronger sunlight. Watering: Water regularly during the summer so long as the plant pot is allowed to drain and not sit in a tray of water (It rots easily, especially if over wet). Let dry between watering. During hot weather you may need to water the plants more frequently so long as the plant is actively growing. From late September watering should be reduced to force the plant to go in to a state of semi dormancy, by October you should be back in to the winter watering regime. If the soil is allowed to be dry for too long root loss could follow but equally the same result would occur if the plants are both wet and cold. From March onwards the plant will begin to grow and watering should be increased gradually until late May when the plant should be in full growth.
