|||
E. eyriesii is a very popular large caespitose cactus, widely grown for the huge nocturnal flowers. It is the best known and most commonly grown globular cactus. |
|||
In favorable conditions and after a long time, it may exceptionally forms large mounds up to 1,5 m tall and 2-3 m wide. |
|||
It is globular, later elongated and almost cylindrical, 15-30 cm high, 12 to 15 cm thick, dark green and heavily ribbed (9 to 18). On the ribs, there are circular areoles with very short spines (10 to 18) |
|||
The flower is very spectacular. The floral stem grows slowly (one month) up to 20 cm long. Then, on a spring or summer evening, the flower (white or light pink) opens with 10-12 cm in diameter. There is a light and delicious smell. It fades the next day, but in cold, rainy weather it may last two, rarely three days. |
|||
== Cultivation == |
|||

|||
E. eyriesii is easy to grow plant. It needs a fertile and well drained soil with sunny exposure. |
|||
Water the plants well in summer, but let them dry before watering again. Use then special fertilizer for cacti. |
|||
In winter keep dry. The temperature may be as low as -7°C. For flowering in summer, the rest (dry and cold) in winter is necessary. |
