Lobivia ancistrophora is a small, globular cactus species native to Bolivia and Argentina. It belongs to the Echinopsis genus and is prized for its compact size, spiny appearance, and stunning, large, brightly colored flowers that can range from red, orange, yellow, or pink. It’s an easy-to-care-for cactus that makes a great addition to any collection.

 

Care Guide:

 

Light: Prefers full sun to bright indirect light. If grown indoors, place it near a sunny window.

 

Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.

 

Soil: Requires well-draining cactus soil, ideally mixed with sand, perlite, or pumice.

 

Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in warm temperatures (above 10°C/50°F) but can tolerate cooler temperatures down to -5°C (23°F) if kept dry.

 

Fertilizer: Use a diluted cactus fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

 

Growth & Size: Stays relatively small, growing up to 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter.

 

Propagation: Easily propagated from seeds or offsets (pups).

 

 

Lobivia ancistrophora is an excellent choice for collectors who appreciate unique flowering cacti.
