Easter Lily Cactus (Echinopsis Oxygona)

  Hardiness Level: Echinopsis oxygona is hardy in USDA Zones 9 to 11, meaning it can tolerate temperatures as low as 20°F (-6°C). This makes it suitable for warmer climates, and while it can thrive outdoors, it’s best to bring it inside during colder months to protect it from frost.

Growing Conditions

Light Requirements: The Easter Lily Cactus thrives in bright, direct sunlight. It is ideal for sunny windowsills or outdoor locations with full sun exposure, which encourages vigorous growth and vibrant blooms.

Watering Needs: Watering should be done sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the active growing season (spring and summer), provide moderate water, while reducing frequency in fall and winter when the plant enters dormancy.

Soil Preferences: A well-draining cactus mix or a combination of potting soil with sand or perlite is recommended to prevent root rot and ensure healthy growth.

Conclusion

The Easter Lily Cactus (Echinopsis oxygona) is an eye-catching addition to any plant collection, known for its stunning flowers and easy care requirements. With a hardiness level suitable for warmer climates and basic maintenance needs, it is a perfect choice for both novice and experienced gardeners looking to enhance their indoor or outdoor spaces with unique beauty.
