CACTACEAEEchinocereus

Little pop star hedgehog cacti.

Compact, colorful, and full of personality, Echinocereus feels like the pop idol group of the cactus world. Many species cluster freely and show off vibrant spines in shades that range from subtle to electric. Their nickname, Hedgehog Cactus, is well known, but in Japan they are often called “shrimp cacti.” Whether the name comes from the flower color or the young stems is still up for debate.

You can search for photos, care methods, and flower images of Echinocereus.
