Plant/Product Description:
Echinopsis subdenudata, also known as the Domino Cactus, is a unique and beautiful cactus characterized by its cylindrical, columnar shape. The plant is covered in white spines that create a "domino" effect, with alternating white and dark bands along the length of the cactus. The body of the cactus is typically a soft green, and the plant grows relatively tall and cylindrical.

This cactus is ideal for collectors and gardeners seeking a striking, low-maintenance plant.

Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate bright, indirect light. Full sun encourages the best growth and vibrant flower blooms.
• 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 subdenudata is generally dormant in winter, requiring minimal water and slower growth.
• Propagation: Can be propagated by seeds or offsets.
• Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may attract mealybugs or aphids.

Echinopsis subdenudata is non-toxic to humans and pets.
