Peanut Cactus

AKA: Echinopsis chamaecereu

The peanut cactus is a branched cactus with finger-like stems with clustering and trailing growth habits. This growth habit makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets. Each ribbed stem can grow up to 6 inches long and half an inch in diameter and covered in small white bristles.
While this Cactus might look prickly, the spines on the peanut cactus are relatively soft, although touching them still isn’t recommended as these fine bristles can still puncture the skin and cause discomfort. However, because the peanut cactus is soft, it is easier to handle and grow than some of its spikier cacti relatives.
