Cactus Pyrrhocactus Mix Seeds (Pyrrhocactus spp., now part of Eriosyce)
General Description:
Pyrrhocactus Mix is a rare collection of Chilean and Argentinian cacti known for their dark, globular bodies, prominent ribs, and striking spines. These slow-growing cacti are admired for their unique shapes and funnel-shaped flowers in shades of yellow, pink, orange, and red. Ideal for collectors, they thrive in arid and rocky environments, making them a beautiful addition to any succulent collection.
Possible Species in the Mix:
This mix may include several fascinating Pyrrhocactus species:
• Pyrrhocactus strausianus – Dark green body with yellowish spines and pale yellow flowers.
• Pyrrhocactus bulbocalyx – Known for its thick ribs, reddish spines, and orange blooms.
• Pyrrhocactus umadeave – Features fine spines and magenta or pink flowers.
• Pyrrhocactus villicumensis – Compact with dense, short spines and yellow flowers.
• Pyrrhocactus andreaeanus – Produces deep red flowers with prominent ribs.
Plant Characteristics:
Pyrrhocactus cacti are generally small to medium-sized, growing up to 5–15 cm in height. They have distinct ribs, well-defined spines, and flowers that emerge from the top of the plant in spring and summer. The bodies are typically dark green to brownish, creating a striking contrast with the bright flowers.
Cultivation Recommendations:
• Soil: Use well-drained cactus mix or sandy soil.
• Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Indoors, place near a sunny window.
• Watering: Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Water sparingly during winter dormancy.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm climates but can tolerate mild frost (down to -5°C) if kept dry.
• Germination: Sow seeds on the surface of moist cactus mix. Cover lightly and maintain a temperature of 70–85°F (21–29°C). Germination typically occurs within 2–4 weeks.
Uses and Benefits:
Perfect for rock gardens, succulent collections, and windowsill displays, Pyrrhocactus cacti are valued for their unique appearance and rare flowers. Their slow-growing nature makes them a long-lasting feature in any collection.
