Echinopsis eyriesii (Turpin) Pfeiff. & Otto
Short haired pillsThis type of cactus is called "short haired ball", also known as "longevity ball". It is originally from South America and is widely cultivated worldwide. It is currently the most cultivated cactus plant in the family Cactus, and is also the original species of the series of "colored grass balls" (such as the famous Schick's cactus ball, which is a hybrid of various short haired balls). Although it is a common product, it has a good reputation among flower enthusiasts.The plant is not largeThe plant of Short Hair Pill is not large, initially in a cylindrical shape, but only becomes a long elliptical shape after many years of growth, with a height of 20-25cm. The diameter of the sphere is 12-15cm, and it is dark green with regular edges distributed on it. There are short gray brown thorns on the edges, which have regressed or semi degraded and will not prick people.Perennial succulent plants with a lifespan of up to 80 years are very suitable for home cultivation and ornamental purposes. Both ground and potted plants perform well.The flowers are very beautifulShort haired ball is the ancestor of some colorful grass balls with large and colorful flowers. The flowers are not as gorgeous as their descendants, but they are also very beautiful. The flower stem is high and pulled out from the top of the ball, like a brush. The flowers open at the end, in the shape of a trumpet flower, with a diameter of about 10cm. The petals have 2-3 layers and are arranged in a lotus shaped pattern, arranged neatly like lotus flowers. The main colors of the flowers are white and pink (also known as white grass and pink grass), which are very clean and immortal, bright and not vulgar, and have a good ornamental effect.Fragrance overflows everywhereIn addition to "beauty", the flowers of the short haired ball still have a fragrance. During the blooming process, the flowers release a very fragrant fragrance, which is a very pleasant and fragrant fragrance. It is strong and not turbid, with a distant fragrance that can be smelled from tens of meters away. When planted on a closed balcony indoors, the whole room can smell that fragrance when the flowers bloom, which is fragrant and fragrant.Flowering is very awesomeSome cacti are difficult to grow and bloom, such as the "Golden Tiger" that office experts love to grow. You may not see the flowers even after ten or eight years of cultivation.Short haired marbles are varieties that bloom very diligently. They start to bloom as soon as the temperature rises in late spring and can still be seen blooming in late autumn. Although each flower only blooms for one or two days, it blooms quickly and can bloom many times from late spring to autumn.Even small balls can bloomSome cacti need to be raised to a large size in order to bloom. Short haired balls will bloom during the seedling stage. If the diameter of the ball is greater than 3cm, it has the ability to bloom. The larger the ball, the more flowers it will have. After four or five years of cultivation, mature plants can even bloom dozens of flowers at the same time. A group of pink flowers covering the plant is still very spectacular.Easy maintenanceOf course, to achieve this effect, two things must be done well.Firstly, the amount of light must not be reduced. Cactus plants prefer sunlight and only by exposing themselves to more sunlight can they grow vigorously and bloom more.On the contrary, a lack of light can easily lead to elongation or even failure to bloom.Secondly, nutrients should also keep up.If raised in poverty, it may only bloom 2-3 times a year. However, during the planting process, especially in spring and summer, frequent application of flowering promoting fertilizers such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate can make it bloom diligently.It can be nurtured for decades, and the more it is nurtured, the more beautiful it becomesShort haired balls are a highly popular variety in the cactus industry, equivalent to a "juice balcony" in roses. Cactus enthusiasts almost have one in their hands, not only because of its high appearance and frequent flowering, but also because it is very adaptable to the environment, easy to care for, and does not require extensive experience in flower cultivation. Novice flower enthusiasts can also cultivate it in a beautiful state by mastering its habits.The only drawback of short haired pills is that they are not cold resistant. They need to survive in an environment above 5 ℃ in winter. In southern China, Fujian and other places, they can be raised in the open for the winter. It is best for other flower enthusiasts to move back indoors in winter and not outdoors.I like loose and well drained nutrient soil, just raise it like a succulent plant, sunbathe more, wait for the soil to completely dry before watering, it is very drought resistant, and can be watered once every two weeks.
