Description
The Rainbow Hedgehog Cactus (Echinocereus rigidissimus) is a rare and visually striking cactus known for its vibrant, multicolored spines that create a rainbow effect along its cylindrical stem. This compact species can grow up to 12 inches tall and produces large, showy pink or magenta blooms in late spring to early summer. Its unique coloration and stunning flowers make it a prized choice for collectors and enthusiasts. Each plant is one of a kind, with slight variations in color and form.
This cactus thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires well-draining soil with minimal watering—allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings prevents root rot. It prefers warm temperatures but can tolerate brief drops to 10°F when kept dry. Shipped in a 4-inch nursery pot, each plant is carefully packaged to ensure it arrives healthy. Due to its rarity, availability is limited, making this a must-have addition to any plant collection.
Weather Conditions
Please be mindful of the weather conditions in your area, as rare plants can be particularly vulnerable to cold temperatures especially during shipping. If the temperature drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit in your location, we strongly advise purchasing Winter Shipping Protection or consider purchasing the plant when weather is more suitable.
Please add Winter Shipping Protection to your order.
Extreme cold can cause damage to plants during shipping, potentially leading to wilted or damaged foliage, root rot, or even death. While we take every precaution to carefully package and protect your plants during transit, we cannot guarantee their condition if they are exposed to freezing temperatures during delivery.
We recommend monitoring local weather forecasts closely and timing your plant orders accordingly. Additionally, consider providing a secure and sheltered location for package delivery to minimize exposure to cold temperatures upon arrival.
Please understand that while we strive to deliver the highest quality plants, factors beyond our control, such as inclement weather, may impact their condition during shipping.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in ensuring the safe arrival of your rare plants.
Shipping Information
We prioritize the safe arrival of your plants and handle every order with care to ensure they reach you in excellent condition. Orders are processed within 4-7 business days. For live plants, we strongly recommend selecting the 2-Day Air shipping option. This ensures your plants spend minimal time in transit, reducing the risk of damage or stress during shipping.
While we also offer a more affordable ground shipping option, please note that we cannot guarantee the same level of quality upon arrival due to the extended transit time and the sensitive nature of live plants. Weather and seasonal conditions may also impact shipping times. We carefully monitor weather patterns to safeguard your plants and will notify you of any delays to protect their health.
Tracking Available: Once your order ships, you’ll receive a tracking number to monitor your plant’s journey.
