Eriosyce senilis Family: Cactaceae. An uncommon darker spine form of this beautiful cactus covered in tons of curved spines. Like most Eriocyse, this species forms a tap root . Flowers are a beautiful combination of pink petals with a yellow throat. Requires general cactus care, but be careful not to overwater as tap rooted species are more sensitive to rot. Will clump in time. Protect from frost, though it is said to be able to withstand light frost.
This is exactly the same species as the "normal" white spine form I also sell. I just separated them out based on spine color to give buyers more choice. This form has darker purple brown spines mixed with white or yellow spines. What you see in the pictures is what you get.
You will receive a plant shown in the last image or one similar. Plants shown in 4" pot.
Important Shipping Information
- PLANTS ARE SHIPPED BARE ROOT If you want me to send them in pots send me a message to discuss. Extra charges due to increased shipping costs will apply.
- Immediate Payment (eBay only) Sorry! I can no longer offer a delayed purchase option as the multichannel inventory management system I have started using requires this setting.
- No Delayed Shipping (eBay only) Once you pay I have to (and WILL) ship within 3 business days or eBay will lower my seller rating. I used to have a way to delay shipping but can no longer do this for the same reason as #2 above. Feel free to message me before buying to see if we can figure something out here, no promises though.
- Winter Shipping If you live in a cold climate consider including a 96 hour heat pack in your order during the cold months. I have them as a listing. Just add it to your order. If you don’t see them just message me.
Thank you!
