Description

Echinocereus knippelianus

Echinocereus knippelianus is a beautiful and compact cactus species native to the high-altitude regions of Mexico. Known for its soft, blue-green to greyish body and short, delicate spines, it forms small globular to slightly cylindrical stems with shallow ribs. Despite its modest size, it puts on a spectacular floral display—producing large, vibrant pink to magenta blooms that can nearly cover the plant in spring or early summer. A favourite among collectors for its subtle colouring and brilliant flowers.

Key Features:

  • 🌵 Soft Blue-Green Body: Rounded form with smooth ribs and minimal spination—very touchable in appearance.

  • 🌸 Huge Pink Flowers: Produces oversized, magenta blooms that contrast beautifully with its muted body.

  • 🪴 Compact & Clumping: Grows in small clusters over time—ideal for containers and small-space gardens.

  • ❄️ Cold-Tolerant & Easy-Care: Well-suited for cooler climates and thrives in bright light with excellent drainage.

  • 63mm pot
