peanut cactus

Peanut Cactus (Echinopsis chamaecereus) (Friedrich & Glaetzle): Easy to grow clumping cactus, bursting with finger-like stems. The stems can grow up to 12.0″ long and curl out of a pot. It blooms with large, orange to red flowers in late spring and has short, bristly spines that are relatively gentle to the touch.

It grows well outdoors in southern Florida and Texas and in dry, hot areas of California and Arizona. Where the temperatures are particularly hot, as in Arizona, peanut cactus should be given a little shade. In cooler areas of these zones, give it full sun. Give it as much sun as possible when grown indoors
