Easter Lily Cactus (Enchinopsis tubiflora)

Key Features:

• Size: Typically grows up to 10-30 cm in height, with the flowers adding extra height when in bloom.
• Light Requirements: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Ideal for a sunny windowsill or outdoor placement with ample sunlight.
• Watering: Water sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer), allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in fall and winter.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 15°C and 30°C. Protect from frost, as it is sensitive to cold.
• Additional Features: Known for its large, tubular flowers that bloom at night and last for only a day or two, offering a spectacular display.

Care Tips:

• Plant in a well-draining cactus mix or add sand to regular potting soil to prevent water retention.
• Place in a location with bright light and ensure it receives a few hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal flowering.
• Water moderately in the growing season, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. Reduce watering in the cooler months when the plant goes dormant.
• Fertilize once a month during the growing season with a cactus-specific fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and flowering.
• Protect from extreme cold by bringing it indoors or covering it during frosty nights.
