Description
The Peanut Cactus (Echinopsis chamaecereus) is a quirky, low-growing cactus with finger-like stems that spread out in clusters, resembling unshelled peanuts. Compact and cheerful, this sun-loving plant often produces bright orange-red flowers during its blooming season, adding a burst of colour to your space.
Potted in a sleek white nursery pot, the Peanut Cactus is perfect for desks, windowsills, or sunny balconies. It thrives in well-draining soil, loves the sun, and needs very little water to stay happy. Its trailing habit also makes it ideal for low bowls or shallow planters. A great pick for cactus lovers, low-maintenance plant parents, or anyone looking to add a fun visual texture to their plant collection.
