Скачать или смотреть Pine Cone Cactus flowering for the first time in 4 years. Tecoma stans Orange Jubilee.

Pine cone cactus is a small, shrubby cactus that grows via segmented, knobby pads. Each pine cone-shaped segment grows to about 4 inches wide and tall, although they may take on a taller, elongated form to adapt to a more stem-like role. These segmented pads sport a light gray-green color, sometimes with a purple tint.

This cactus slowly grows to a clump 2 feet tall and 4 feet wide. The segmented pads may dislodge from their mother plant via wind or other disturbance and start their own plant.

Pine cone cactus usually do not have prominent spines, although it has glochids - very short barbed spines that hook onto other things that come into contact- in the areoles. One variant of the Pine cone cactus is the Paper spine cactus, which has modified spines like long and smooth ribbons. Some variants have more spines than others.

Showy blooms in the springtime. The bright white and yellow flowers provide a nice contrast against the more muted color of the cactus. They are followed by fruits containing seeds available for propagation.

Pine cone cactus is native to Western Argentina, in dry and warm/temperate regions.

PINE CONE CACTUS CARE
Taking care of Pine cone cacti is very easy. Compared to the average cactus, it is tolerant of cold temperatures and excess water.

Soil: Loose, well-draining soil that is lightly fertile.

Temperature: Can withstand temperatures down to 15 degrees for a short period. Does very well in the heat.

Water: Occasional, deep watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Either use a moisture meter or stick your finger through the soil to gauge the moisture level. It’s better to err on the side of underwatering than overwatering.

Sun: Full sun to partial shade.
