How to fertilize Easter Lily Cactus
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Easter Lily Cactus after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Echinopsis oxygona has 15 offsets. My Echinopsis oxygona has around 15 pups of various sizes and is too big for its 4-inch nursery pot. Should I keep it as a clump or try to take off some of the offsets and propagate them? What do people normally do with this cactus?

Domino Easter Lily Growth I’m quite new to #Succulents and #Cactus but I’ve been trying my best to take care of the ones I have and make sure they grow! I know generally cacti grow slow, but I want to make sure that I’m taking care of my #EasterLily cactus! I bought mine a couple months ago (I want to say late february, early march) and noticed NOTHING has changed about it since I bought it. Am I doing something wrong or does this type of cactus take a very long time to grow? When it does begin to grow, what are the signs?

How big do these get? I got this #Saguaro from a co-worker. She has it in a non drainage coffee mug type pot. As soon as my soil comes in, it is going in a 6 inch pot. Also, do these like to be top or bottom watering?

What plant is this..?????? I just bought three mini cactuses few days ago on a whim quickly, but after searching through 6different plant search apps, it showed different results such as moon cactus, texas barrel cactus, easter lily cactus, and much more. I need help please.

The time finally came when I felt my mother echinopsis could use some relief...I loved the look of all the pups around her, but it was time to prop. I removed 51(!) babies; about a third of them had nubby roots and a few more had some great ones. Before and after photos attached... fun process. #plantsmakepeoplehappy #cactusclique #happyplants #propagationstation #beforeandafter #succulentlove #cactus
