Plant/Product Description:
Echinopsis chamaecereus, commonly known as Peanut Cactus, is a small and distinctive cactus that produces long, cylindrical stems resembling peanuts. This low-growing cactus is known for its colorful flowers that bloom in shades of red, pink, or orange, depending on the variety.

The Peanut Cactus is ideal for containers, hanging baskets, or as part of a cactus collection, and it’s a perfect choice for collectors looking for a unique addition.
Plant Care Notes:

- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Soil: Requires well-draining cactus mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
- Dormancy: Echinopsis chamaecereus is dormant in winter and requires minimal watering during this period.
- Propagation: Can be propagated by stem cuttings or offsets.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.
