Description:
The genus Cheridopsis
has hundreds of species. They are all found in America and Africa and grow in
tropical or subtropical climates. These are great plants for dish gardens or
used as a ground cover. The shapes and sizes of the Cacti can vary from a
single spherical plant to the size of a full-grown tree. The leaves are long
and slender, to triangular. Every Cactus grows colorful flowers pollinated by
insects. The flowers come from time to time in late spring or summer, and they
open on sunny days only. They are mildly fragrant and quite showy. Cacti go
dormant during the hot dry summer. The leaf skin dries out and protects the
layer underneath until it falls. Hardiness zones 9-11, (-5°C/25°F, 4°C/40°F) in
winter. They won’t take any frost. During dormancy, water is restricted to a
minimum. In autumn, watering must be abundant, and the cactus will greatly
swell. A cactus can survive 2 months without water, depending only on its inner
reserve. Cacti need full sun to partial shade, with a well-drained soil mix.
Use a soil mix consisting of equal parts of loam and sand with small gravel
added to insure good drainage. Water well the plant and then allow drying
thoroughly before watering again. Fertilize them twice during the growing
season (in autumn and winter) with a balanced fertilizer diluted to ½ the
strength recommended on the label.
Germination:
Sow seed in pots or
trays of moist cacti soil mix with compost. Place in a propagator or warm place
and keep at a constant temperature of 18ºC (68-77ºF). After sowing, do not
exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist
but not waterlogged; germination is fast and will usually take less than 30
days. It can take longer, don’t give up.
