- This video will spotlight the genus Echinopsis (Easter Lily cactus) under the Cactacae family. Echinopsis is one of the biggest genus especially with other genus now included under this classification. They are comparatively easier to take care of compared to other types of cactus. In this video, I will talk a little about Echinopsis, show examples of the different forms and a little bit about their care based on my experience.

Very good information. Even I bought many cactus by watching your videos
I’m glad you talk about echinopsis because it’s my favorite. Thanks , I learn quite a lot from you👍🥰
Danke, danke und nochmals danke für dieses Video. Kakteenblüten sind die schönsten Blumen auf der Welt.
Beautiful collection
Such a FANTASTIC video on Echinopsis Ana :-D I LOVE them and there are so many wonderful varieties of them and you have so many stunners too a really wonderful collection, the flowers are so spectacular on them, this is a wonderful care video and very informative, thank you so much for sharing this amazing video Ana, and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and CAFFEINE and PLANT POWER to Las Vegas for a fantastic Monday today XXXX
Desert Plants of Avalon who cannot love Echinopsis?! The flowers will always draw attention. 😃🌸🌵
Thank you for showing us your gorgeous Echinopsis collection and teaching us about their care.
I have found that cacti are prone to dropping their flower buds when their position in relation to their light source is changed, so I don't move or rotate them after the buds form until they bloom. This just happened to my Thanksgiving cactus. All the mature buds it had when I brought it home opened beautifully, but it dropped all of the buds still forming. Now it seems to be getting some new little buds, so I'll be careful & not move it.
"Rainbow Burst" would be a hybrid seed strain name. Plants from this strain would be variable in form and colour, hence the "rainbow" moniker. Latin names for cacti are ever changing and confusing but mostly very simple. The genus name: Echino = hedgehog. Opsis = appearance. That's a wonderful description...Of just about every cactus! The species name comes next and usually describes the flower or spine colour, the plant's form, the location where the plant grows, or the name of the European person who "discovered" the plant and decided to name it. Common Latin names for colours are: Flava - yellow, aurata - golden or orange, viridi - green, alba - white, rubra - red. Latin names make descriptions easier and more concise. It's much easier and quicker to call a plant Echinopsis Sanguiniflora than to call it "a cactus that looks like a hedgehog with blood coloured flowers." Hope this helps a little. I don't mean to be patronising, just giving you information most plant books don't give or explain.
Looking at your photo I thought at first you were Mexican, then I heard your voice and now realise you're from the Philippines.
I enjoy your channel and seeing the myriad cacti you grow so well.
Mabuhay!
Thank you so much for all the information. This certainly helps me and I hope the viewers will read your comment as well. The names and the classification are confusing. But thank you for dissecting the name and explaining how they are derived. Yes, I’m Filipino. 😃
Thank you for all the cool information ^^
I agree with you Ana, one of the first cacti that someone should have is Echinopsis👍☺️. Yours are very beautiful 😍💯💕. I'm very new at cacti, I've had only a few Gymnocalycium and Lobivia flowers last year, but yesterday I saw my first Echinopsis subdenudata flowers: It was marvelous! So big and pure white! And my Echinopsis hybrid surprised me being peach colour a few weeks before and both are making more buds. So rewarding and easy to care for. And they give a lot of flowers. The only 'bad new' is that they fade in one day🥴. Have a good day in Las Vegas😘☮️🌵💖!
Oh that is exciting that you saw your subdenudata flower for the first time! My very first cactus that flowered was a subdenudata and that got me interested in cactus flowers. ☺️
@@CactusCaffeine My first cacti flower was from a Gymnocalycium anisitsii last year. I bought very little cacti when I started my collection three years ago, so the first to bloom have been the Gymnos. This spring I'm seeing Rebutias, Echinopsis and Notocactus for my very first time and the Frailea is almost ready to open. Great memories! I always say that I got interested in Cacti thanks to your videos and Daz, Clyde and Lyn 😜👌💕.
What a fantastic collection of Echinopsis !!!!
Your blooms are so pretty! Thanks for the great information!
Very helpful tips and tricks Thanks for sharing 👍 I appreciate it very much.God bless
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. CHEERS!
Thanks for the information on the Echinopsis cactus it gave me a better understanding.
I have lots of different kinds of Echinopsis. Love them all. I planted them all in the ground.
From Houston Texas
Wow, in the ground! Good for you. I’d love to try that on mine as well. I’m just a little worried in winter. How cold does it get in Houston?
ang gaganda po nila...ang ganda ng mga flowers.🌱🎋❤
Fantastic collection.
I love all the flowers of your echinopssis. How i wish mine too have flowers.thank you for sharing God bless you.
Thank you. ☺️
Absolutely stunning!!!
Wow I didn’t know that Echinopsis has such nice flowers ! The cactus isn’t as attractive but the flowers are amazing
Echinopsis and Trichocereus hybrids are the best! 😍
I love Echinopsis. Mine is constantly blooming this time of year. Happy growing! You have so many beautiful cactus with so many different colors. Thank you for sharing
How exciting! Congratulations on your blooms. Anybody who gets an echinopsis to flower will surely want another one. Lol! At least that happened to me. 😁 Thank you for watching and leaving a wonderful comment. 🌵☕️
if i buy a small one now, how many years it takes echinopsis to bloom
Thank you so much for sharing..
Very colorful cactii flowers . Hope i get a few on mine this year . Have been following your advice . Thanks again for all you share with us 🌸🌵🌸🌵
Glovana Jn Baptiste well I wish you not just a few but dozens and more flowers! Thank you for your support as well. 👍🏼🌵☕️
I have had little luck identifying my hybrids. The names on the tags in the box store …. or when I see a very similar one online. Your San Pedro looks beautiful! Love your plants!
Beautiful video, thank you.
ECHINOPSIS, LOVE THEM ALL LOVE ALL THE TIPS I CAN GET ,, I HAVE TO GO BY THE SEASON'S. ..WISH WE HAD YOUR CLIMATE 👍👍👍👍👍👍THANKS 2020 AUG ..
I wish i have too..its so beautiful big flowers..
Ang ganda ng echinopsis subdenudata! Lumalaki po pala ng ganyan kalaki yan.😍😲
Medyo matanda na itong subdenudata ko. 6 years na since I bought it. I repotted it twice na. 🙂☕️🌵
Beautiful flowers!! I have a subdenudata that bloomed last night!! And one of my pink "Rainbow bursts" has been blooming off and on for a couple of weeks. Looks like one of the ones you have. The subdenudata had 4 flowers open at once, a nice show. Gotta love these guys!!!! From Morris park in the Ozarks ,Peace,Love,Plants!!!✌💖🌵🌺🌴🌻🌿
Oh, that is fantastic! Yes, these echinopsis can put on a show. I wish we have the climate to plant them in the ground. They would grow bigger and produce more flowers! Thanks Clyde!
I ❤️❤️❤️ this video, learned a lot and I know now how to care for a bunch of Echinopsis cacti I got from a friend in California.
Thank you and good luck! Echinopsis are one of the most forgiving cactus. And California has the perfect weather for it. 🙂
Hi Ana! Awesome video and awesome collection. It's true... there's so many cacti under the echinopsis category. Sometimes I've to google and research everywhere just to be sure I've the correct info. I just can't buy tomato or fish fertilizer..so it's just the ordinary fertilizer for now. So far so good. Lots of good info sharing 👍👍
I was given a baby Echinopsis with a plant order , it rooted and is growing fast , I can’t wait to see what color it is and hope it has babies , so nice to have one unexpectedly tfs beautiful flowers 💐
Oh that is great! Echinopsis flowers are a beauty!
very very good👍
Just love these ones 😍😍😍 so many colours to collect lol 😆
Rose Hussey the colors of the flowers always come as a pleasant surprise! 😃🌸🌺
Excellent video...I learned a lot.
Beatrice Greene thank you as well for your support. Have a great week! 🙂🌵☕️
Thanks a lot! Do some cacti need direct sun to open their flowers? I am struggling now with where to put my cacti. More in the shadow or more in the sun?
Mary ann dela cruz ,Hello Ana i love your cactus and succulents
Very informative... thanks!
They are spectacular when they flower; sometimes heaps taller than the plant itself!
Unfortunately, your cristate Echinopsis will probably never flower.
This is a common side effect of any cristate or crested cacti, but at least they do look truly weird!
Lindos seus cactos parabéns!!!👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍
I have just purchased 600 seeds of the hybrids so will be interested to see what they come out as of got them from a supplier in the southern hemisphere his seeds so far I have really good success rate
Thanks for this video. I have Echinopsis oxygona. Well, many of them, lol. This summer will be the fifth summer that they will bloom. Excited that I got my second Echinopsis this spring. It is really little so it will be a few years before it will bloom. I am told it has a red bloom, so I do not know which one it is. Thanks again for your videos.
Lovely 💚
That Gold one!🔥
nagwagi2000 it is a beauty. I wish it would give me more flowers next time. Thanks! 🙂
thanks. learn alot from you.
Jun Jer Soon your welcome and thank you for your wonderful feedback. 🌵☕️
Hurray, another genus video. I think I'm really starting to like Echinopsis. Chris just got me a premade bowl arragement that has a few in it so my collection has now grown. Love the subdenuata fuzzies or domino. Oh man all the names. I'm a biologist and come from a background mostly of zoology. Once I began to dabble in botany I was amazed at the chaos, fighting and name changes back and forth. No one can agree on anything and we growers don't know the names of our plants cause of it. This doesn't happen nearly as much in zoology and I'm guessing probably not so much in the other kingdoms either. Anyway, you've got a lovely collection and I enjoyed seeing and learning about all the echinopsis.
Scary Fear oh! So you are a learned zoologist! That’s why you know so much about birds. I’m always amazed how you take care of those baby birds. I learned something new about you. Thanks Des! 🙂
@@CactusCaffeine Yes, Biology was my field of study and I still try to keep up with it. I just love it. Birds were definitely my focus. Aww thanks. I'm glad you enjoy learning about birds in my videos. We both have a lot to offer each other I think. I love exchange of knowledge. I'm like you in once I get into something new I want to research as much as I can and not be a "beginner/novice" for too long.
You are 100% in your assessment, if it carries the name" Rainbow Burst" they are Echinobivia, they are a hybrid of the Echinopsis and Lobivia cacti, beautiful flowers by the way and great video as always!
David Rodriguez there is so many hybrids now, and fantastic colors as well. 😃 Colors you would not imagine seeing together in one flower. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts as well.
@Trichocereus Pachaboi thanks, I love learning new things, thanks for the info, much appreciated
i bought one from lidl about 3 years ago didnt water it for like 2 years and it still lives
Awesome
Preciosos esos cactus 😘😍
Eso es Increíble! 😍🌵
Jon Garcia thank you! 🙂🌵☕️
Your blooms are just gorgeous! One of my most favourite genera too. Their flowers are always showy and they are mostly prolific puppers. I love the Peanut cactus too however, they’re not so common here in SG. Meron ako variegated Echinopsis subdenudata para sa’yo 🥰 sana matapos na ‘tong pandemic para mapadala namin. Anyway, thanks for sharing this cool video. Ingat lagi, sis. ❤️🌵🙏🥰🌺🌸🌼❤️
I agree my love, we need more Echinopsis, I can get some nice hybrid varieties here as you know, but they’re quite pricey. Loved the video Ana and you shared great tips on their care. Thank you for sharing with us, from Edith & myself, have a wonderful day and new week 😊🌵☀️🌺🌸🌼🏜☕️
Cactimania yaaay! You’re awake now! 😂
I am yes 😂 Just replying to a few comments and I shall be with you 🥰
So when you talk about letting Cactus rest (during winter), we're supposed to water only rarely. . .minimally. So I live in SF, CA. It rains. But should I take it out of the open aren then? It's not really a lot of rain during the winter. But should it get 'zero' water (which means put it under an umbrella or shelter)?
Who knew that liquid tomato food was so hard to find? No Espoma but I got the Neptune one tho, or was it Saturn...anyway I got it. Thanks Anna!!!! My Little Green Guys will be blooming soon.
I just bought my first two echinopsis cacti. One is very tiny and already flowering. the other is much more mature and has lots of growing buds and trunks. My question is, do i have to prune the flowers once they wither or do i leave them in place?
I have 1 big mother Echinopsis.. she hasn't bloomed in 2yrs. But she gives me pups all year long. Im going to give her a shot of tomato fertilizer next month.
We will see how it goes by May!!
Good luck! Wish you many blooms. 🌸🌼
I’m collecting cactus and succulents so I can garden inside, as I’m too disabled now for my outdoor gardens and live in Minnesota. Lots of learning so I can choose! I just ordered Echinopsis “Rainbow Beauty” yesterday. It’s all the same plant, but the big flowers do come in all these colors, and no real effective way to determine which one the pups will be. If you know the parent plant, you have a better chance of getting the same color, but no guarantee, alas!
TheAuntieBa good luck on your new Echinopsis ! 😃🌵☕️
Muito lindos seus cactos floridos
Thank you, cheers! 😊🌵☕️
Miss Anna
How long did you expose you echinopsis(light requirements)
I haven't make my echinopsis bloom any tips thanks
I just bought a really old Echinopsis eyriesii for $20 at a yardsale just down the street from me. The flowers were one night away from opening, 2 bloomed early and it had 8 flowers open at once and I was able to pollinate them all with my domino. And there are two individuals in the pot and they're getting ready to bloom again so I'll be able to make some pure seeds.
Oh my that is awesome! The older Echinopsis usually gives out the most blooms. How lucky are you. Good luck in making new seeds! ☺️
they are my favourite, I have gathered about 20 different ones recently and I wait for them to bloom, they are still young pups, maybe some will do it next year. I have started collecting cacti last year.
pitbullica I hope you see their flowers soon. In no time those will double as they pup a lot! 😄
My echinopsis rose quartz just decide to bloom for the first time and the flowers look soo unreal
My Easter Lily has greyish patches on one side. Is this sun damage. Can it be removed by any treatments?
I got a question for ya when it comes to propagating. Trying to propagate a Ming thing and a rainbow bursts for around 3 months and they still haven’t produced any roots. So how do you usually go about propagating cacti?
Brian The Bold I just stick them about 1/4inch buried in soil and water lightly every time the soil is dry. Rooting is faster on warmer temperatures. I had pups that sit all winter doing nothing but when spring came, they rooted fast.🙂
Do you clip off the spent blooms when they are all shriveled and done blooming? @carambacactus
Nice collection of flowers.....! Q1. Will these bloom frequently? or occasionally? Q2. If we grow from seeds how many days will it takes to bloom?
They will bloom multiple times during spring until summer. I haven’t had any of my seed grown echinopsis flower yet so I don’t know bow long it usually takes until they flower.
What do you do when they get too tall? Can you propagate by cutting them?
How old are these cactus? I bought one last year and it has grown a lot. I separated the pups.. so how long will it take for it to bloom? I'm thinking in the summer..its winter now! And I have it indoors. I'm moving it out of the window because it gets drafty. What do you suggest??
My baby echinopsis rainbow burst
is leaning to one side, the sunlight exposure is around 6 hours. I have watered it once since i recieved it. What to do?
Leaning could be because it is following the direction of the sun, or the bottom has become soft due to rot. I would take it out of the soil to check what is going on underneath.
Thanks again for the informative video. How often do you repot your cacti? I live in Orange County Southern California, do I have to put my cacti in the garage during winter? The night’s temp in Orange County never below 35F. Thanks again. All your cacti are soo beautiful 😻
Repotting depends on how fast every cactus grows. But if a cactus is hardly growing or flowering for 2 years, I repot to change the soil. Southern California weather is perfect for cacti! You can grow them outside all year round. You can even plant them in the ground. 😃
@@CactusCaffeine Thanks 🥰
FYI: I live in Long Beach, CA. I always left my cacti (including echinopsis) out in the winter. I sometimes use umbrella during heavy rains, but they seem to love the winter rain and grow more than expected. However, I have some new ones, and I think I'm going to bring some into the garage. Not sure 🤔
Thats alot of echinopsis ❤❤❤
Not as much as your Gymnocalycium collection! 😉 Im so jealous of your variegates. 😁
Hi!
My echinopsis flower stayed only for 2 days is it normal?
👍❤️
My Echinopsis hasn't bloomed but has given me 30 + pups!!!
What a prolific cactus! Try giving it a diluted fertilizer that is meant for blooming.
@@CactusCaffeine it's August..so do they usually bloom all summer?
Mixture of cinnamon with yr soil,so that protected with fungi
Hi! How long does the flower of the Echinopsis Rose quartz last?
2-3 days depending on the weather. Flowers lasts longer if the temperature is cooler
My friend recently gave me a few echinopssis pups ... at what age Can I expect them to bloom ?
A few months .. or years lol I gotine 5 years ago! I have over 20 now
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Do you have BLUE TORCH cactus? I really want one. They're so awesome
I do!
What's the difference between an echinopsis and mammillaria???
How old is the large Domino?
Can I eat or make tea from the flower.
Oh, I have no knowledge about cactus flowers being eaten or turned into tea. That would be interesting though in tea form, if it is possible.
What is the highest temp can they tolerate?
Connie Beal they tolerated 115F so far under my care but they were under a shade cloth. But that is not an ideal temperature for them. 🥵
Cactus Caffeine I put mine in the shade. Going to be in the 90’s this week.
Can I cover them with any cloth?.
Is it for shade? If so, the cloth has to be a fine material so that some light and air can still pass through it. If the cloth is for winter protection, then a warm material cloth is necessary.
What happens if you cross pollinate echinopsis and a mammallaria flower??
It is difficult to cross between 2 different genus (with a few exceptions). But if successful, you would see some traces of both parents in the new hybrid.
Ok... but It can be done?? Awesome 👌.
I'm a Newbie and live in Philadephia. Where can i find theses Beauties
minister2658 some of them I found in Lowe’s, Home Depot and sometimes even in Walmart. The Rainbow burst and the Domino cactus is the more common ones you can find. Good luck and welcome to the hobby! 😃🌵☕️
@@CactusCaffeine it in what temporary cactus in Lowe's
❤thanks. My cactus 🌵 gives me 5 flowers a year❤....
Wonderful!
When does echinopsis get babies
It can take a year. They will b produce multiple pups around the base ..
Catcus is a desert plant most of his plant don't much water,one small amounts need watering,so don't over waterif do that sunlight strong may rotten
Mostly why rotten because yr video show u didn't put stone surrounding catcus when watering over wet,if put stone it may absorb the water faster,make sure slow n little will not cause rot,l have catcus like water n bloom flower,
Echinopsis is a cactus that is from mountains of South America. They need more water than out desert cactus here in the arid Chihuahua Desert. This lady also lives in desert and needs to use shade cloth and more water
Pretty bloom. Hindi sila madamot sa flowers. They are so pretty.
Thanks for the info. Plenty of genos and variety. I am totally confused. All i know is they are pretty.
Ma.Chuzhi Ron-Figueroa Haha. Super generous sila sa flowers and sa babies din. 😉 Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts. 🌵☕️
@@CactusCaffeine echinopsis looks like rebutia ba somehow?
@@CactusCaffeine i always watch your videos syempre notified ako pagmay new video ka. Goal ko ngayon na magSuper bloom din mga cacti ko same nang sayo.
Rebutia have small flowers. But they flower like a bouquet that sometimes almost covers the cactus itself. 🙂 You can do it, super blooms! 🌸🌵🌸
@@CactusCaffeine how about their body?
मुझे फ्लांवर चाहीये
The lizards knock off my buds😖
Oh no! 😱 Ugh, I would be very mad. 😠 I don’t like 🦎. So sorry. 😔
So much flowers never bloomed bcuz of things knocking them off.
How to be you po
Hahaha. 😄 Good luck with your cacti, anybody can do it! 🌸🌵🌸😉
Awesome
K Titus thanks Ken! 🙂
