Species of the monthPincushion CactusCochemiea fraileana (Britton & Rose) P.B.Breslin & Majure in Taxon 70(2): 319. (2021) Some facts about this taxon, one of several species in tribus Cacteae to be called "Pincushion Cactus":
Cochemiea fraileana is pricky but beautiful, with bell-shaped pink flowers. The elongated, club-shaped fruit is pinkish-lilac or red, and the seeds are black. Studies have shown that this species is a pioneer cactus in rock-colonizing. It belongs to the largest of several genera of diminutive cacti with about 175 species worldwide. This plant is not very widely cultivated, because it needs a certain amount of heat in the winter, and a moist atmosphere while rooted in a fairly dry substrate. Propagation can be achieved either by vegetative reproduction via cuttings, or sexually by seeds: note however that the plant needs maximum sunlight to grow and achieve success in flowering. Letting the plant rest in winter to shrivel, even losing up to 25% of its summer height, will help the flowering process. See also: Species of previous months. |
