ECHINOCEREUS BARTHELOWANUS CARE AND CULTURE

 Cultural information should only be used as a guide, and should be to be adapted to suit you. Your physical location; where you grow your plants, how much time you have to devote to their care, and many other factors, will need to be taken into account. Only then can you decide on the cultural methods that best suit you and your plants.

Light:

 In nature, Echinocereus barthelowanus grows in deserts and carries scorching sun rays. In culture, the young plants should be slightly shaded, and adult cactus need full sun. In the open air, the cactus loves direct sunlight, but can tolerate light shading during the hot summer months, the room needs bright light and some direct sun. In bright light, they acquires a bronze shade and grows more powerful spines.

Temperature:

 In summer, the plant can be kept outdoors. Wintering is cool, at a temperature of 5-15 ° C. This cactus can withstand a short-term drop in temperature to -5 ° C, if the soil is completely dry.

Substrate, growing media and repotting:

 As a substrate, you need to use a loose, well drained mixture for cacti. As the cactus grows rapidly, its root system needs a lot of space, so every two years it is necessary to repot the plant into fresh soil. A repot is also needed if the cactus has outgrown its pot. However, it is not always necessary to repot to a larger container, the size of the pot should depend on the size of the root system.

Watering:

 During the growing season, watering should be moderate, in summer once a week or more often if the weather is sunny, but the ground before the next watering should dry completely. With this watering regime, the cactus will grow healthy. As soon as the temperatures begin to drop in autumn, watering should be reduced, and in winter, keep the plant dry.

Fertilizer:

 During an active vegetation, the cactus is periodically fed with high potassium fertilizer.

Rest period:

 Wintering is dry and cool at a temperature of 5-15 ° C and bright light. They can tolerate frost hardy to -5°C for short periods if they are very dry.

Grow from seeds:

 Cactus seedlings are very fragile on the first weeks and survival depends on how they are treated on that crucial stage; out of 100 of seeds in the wild only a few survive to an adult plant to produce seeds and start the cycle again. Obtaining a high percentage of adult plants from a batch of seedlings, depends on how each collector takes care of their seedlings.

 Water for seedlings is the most important item to keep them growing for first few weeks. Generally, most seedlings, which are 1 week old will die after 3 days of dryness. 2 month-old seedlings can survive for 1 week if allowed to dry. 6 month-old seedlings can survive for 2 months if allowed to dry. 1 year-old seedlings can survive for 5 months if allowed to dry.

 Planting instructions for 4”pot kit: First, clean with water and chlorine plastic pot, clear cover and label and wash with fresh water. Second, the soil can be sterilized for 2 hours at 120º C in an oven or a microwave but can be used without sterilization. Third, fill the pot with soil and spray with distilled, reverse osmosis or pure rainwater to let soil flatten at the top. Fourth, place to 1/8 to 1/4 inch layer of Dyna Rock or crushed sea shell extra fine on top to cover the soil making a layer between soil and seeds. Fifth, place seeds over the Dyna Rock and fine spray water the seeds well and cover with a clearcover.
