Wilcoxia schmollii

Pink flowers in mid-summer. Raise the globose caudex roots to give a bonsai look. Prune branches if they have floppitude in their attitude (due to low light level). Keep nearly dry all winter as the caudex can rot if too wet.

4.Indoors OK, Outdoors OK only if protected from winter rain.

Pretty flowering cactus with raiseable rootstock.
Closeup of flowers.
Ascending branches which eventually flop.
Cut the branches off and it comes away afresh.....
....these new stems are more hairy than spiny, quite friendly to touch.
Closeup of flower. Curent name: Echinocereus schmollii.
