Echinopsis Danse Macabre
syn: Trichocereus DANSE MACABRE
Description
Echinopsis Danse Macabre is a striking cactus hybrid that truly lives up to its dramatic name. This plant features a globular or slightly elongated body with prominent ribs and spines that vary in color from dark brown to black. The real allure of this variety lies in its flowers, which are large and often boast a rich, deep red or burgundy hue. These blooms, appearing typically in the summer, contrast beautifully with the dark body, creating a visually stunning display. Echinopsis Danse Macabre is well-suited to indoor cultivation in a bright, sunny spot. Make sure to use a well-draining potting mix and water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Consider adding some cactus fertilizer during the growing season to stimulate blooms.
