Echinopsis Calochlora Cactus Plant

Echinopsis calochlora belongs to the Cactaceae family and is native to Bolivia. This remarkable cactus grows as a solitary specimen or in attractive colonies, displaying a compact ball shape adorned with soft green buds.

Characterized by distinctive notched ribs arranged both centrally and radially, this species is celebrated for its stunning white funnel-shaped flowers that bloom exclusively at night, creating an enchanting nocturnal display.

Requires moderate watering during the growing season with thorough drainage in summer months; reduce watering significantly in winter. This sun-loving cactus flourishes with bright light and afternoon sun exposure, though it benefits from protection against harsh midday rays to prevent damage.
