Echinopsis chamaecereus, commonly known as the Peanut Cactus, is a popular and easy-to-care-for cactus species native to Argentina. It’s known for its low-growing, spreading habit and distinctive, finger-like stems that resemble peanuts, hence the name.
Care Tips
- Light: Peanut Cactus thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. It prefers a sunny spot with partial shade during the hottest part of the day to prevent sunburn.
- Watering: This cactus is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, which may be every 2-3 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce watering in the fall and winter when the plant is dormant.
- Soil: Echinopsis chamaecereus needs well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Adding sand or perlite to regular potting soil can improve drainage.
- Temperature: Peanut Cactus prefers warm temperatures during the growing season (65-80°F or 18-27°C) but can tolerate cooler temperatures down to around 25°F (-4°C) if kept dry. It is best to protect it from frost.
- Propagation: This cactus is easy to propagate by removing and replanting offsets or stem cuttings. Allow the cut ends to callous for a day or two before planting in well-draining soil.
Uses
The Peanut Cactus is ideal for succulent arrangements, hanging baskets, and rock gardens. Its vibrant flowers and unusual growth habit make it a popular choice for cactus collectors and gardeners alike.
