The Echinocereus pulchellus is a beautiful cactus species that grows in nature in the north of Mexico. Here this cactus grows in dry sandy and rocky areas.

The Echinocereus pulchellus has a dark green color and many small light-colored spines grow from its areoles along its ribs. This Echinocereus is a species that likes to produce many side shoots. This way you will get a nice large cluster of this cactus over the years. This Echinocereus also produces a thick underground taproot that it uses to store a lot of water. This way she can survive a long period of drought.

The Echinocereus pulchellus is a cactus that blooms easily. She does this for us in the spring. Its beautiful bright pink flowers appear from the sides of the cactus.

When this cactus overwinters in completely dry soil, the Echinocereus pulchellus can tolerate temperatures down to -10 °C for a short time.
