Echinopsis Eyriesii Cristata is a captivating cactus with a unique growth pattern. What makes it especially interesting is its rare cristate or "crested" form. Instead of growing as a typical columnar cactus, Echinopsis Eyriesii Cristata exhibits a mutation that causes it to develop a fascinating crested or fan-shaped growth pattern. Echinopsis eyriesii is known for its vibrant and large flowers. The flowers can appear in various colors, including shades of white, pink, orange, or red. The blooms are usually short-lived but can be quite showy.
