Description: This listing is for one bud/pup; see second photo for actual pup, taken October 27, 2024. They are small but rooted and growing well! You can tell roots have formed when the pups become really green like these. I will ship the largest first. The mother plants are shown in the other photos. The Maria Piazza produces spectacular and HUGE flowers, even from a small plant! You can plant these any time of year! Put yours in a sunny window and it will grow slowly all winter and really take off in late February, when days get longer! Unlike some other cactus pups listed on eBay that you may see, these are not growing smashed together so that they are misshapen---they are bright emerald green, perfect, have gotten plenty of water, fertilizer, and love, and will be packed with care so they arrive perfect. With proper care, yours should grow large enough to bloom in about 2 years. Flowers are a beautiful fuschia or magenta color, with white in the center. Here is the story on these plants: for over 50 years, I have been growing Echinopsis Easter Lily Cactus (some of these are for sale in my other listings, larger plants). Only recently have I started growing a few other varieties. The flowers are spectacular as you can see from the first and last photos. In the mean time, these cute cacti are beautiful, perfect, and you will enjoy seeing them grow! At this stage, I would plant them inside, keep them in a sunny window, and keep the soil just barely moist. Once they are bigger, say the size of a golf ball, you can transition them outside if weather allows and water a bit less often, but they really do just fine indoors in a directly sunny window, as shown in the photos. They grow best at about 69 degrees or warmer, but by next summer you should be able to put them outside, if that's what you want, once night temps warm up over 45 degrees, or set them out on warm days and bring in at night. Echinopsis are native to areas in Brazil, Argentina, and Bolivia. Your cactus can bloom when it is about the size of an orange, if you give it the right care, which mostly includes plenty of direct sunlight, and the right amount of water, and a little fertilizer. I will send you a care sheet so your plant can grow, bloom, and multiply like mine! With plenty of sun, these cactus plants will bloom from April into October. I bring my plants inside for the winter around mid-October, and keep them in a sunny window until around mid-May when I put them outside again. The plants grow very quickly from April to October and then slow down, but small ones will grow all winter inside in a sunny window. They may also produce many of their own buds, which you can leave on, plant separately, or give to your friends. NO EXTRA CHARGES TO SHIP ADDITIONAL PUPS! Mix and match as many as you want of any types, only one shipping charge of $6.00.
