Cactus Eriocyse Crispa

Here is Eriocyse Crispa, also known by the scientific synonym of Neoporteria Crispa. It is native to Chile.

The main features of this species are that its worst enemy is certainly humidity. If we give too much to the cactus, the worst that can happen is to bring him to death. So, it is convenient and from experience to start irrigating them in the spring, when the minimum temperatures exceed seven degrees, once a month, or when the substrate is completely dry (if it is necessary to do so before because it has been very hot, they can be irrigated once every fifteen days), there is the summer, once every fifteen days, also checking that between irrigation and irrigation the substratum is dry. In autumn, they must be stopped because both cacti and plants usually come to rest, meaning that their activity is minimal. It is very important in winter not to irrigate them, as temperatures below zero could adversely affect them.

The flowering of the eriosyce is usually funnel-shaped and pink, reddish, or white. Their growth is rather slow, so their small diameter allows them to be planted in a small test inside the home or in a greenhouse, always both cases, providing the largest amount of light possible.
