| Home Page | Echinopsis is generally known as the 'Sea Urchin cactus' or 'Easter lily cactus'. The genera Lobivia and Trichocereus were recently added to the genus Echinopsis along with Helianthocereus, Soehrensia and Pseudolobivia. It now contains around 120 species of South American cacti. There are also a large number of hybrids in cultivation. Echinopsis vary in size from thimble sized species up to Echinopsis terscheckii, similar in shape, but faster growing than the Arizona Saguaro. Echinopsis needs full sun in milder climates, and light shade in the hottest climates in summer.
Echinopsis are easy to propagate from cuttings or seeds, although a lot of the plants in cultivation are hybrids, which seeds don't come true. They are generally fast grower when provided adequate water and fertilizer.
