The black lace cactus, Echinocereus fitchii subsp. albertii (Echinocereus reichenbachii var. albertii), is a small cactus single or branching when old with dense closely pectinate spines. The spines are white to dark dark purple.

It is found in coastal areas or along creeks in open unshaded grasslands, dominated by halophytic grasses and forbs and or under heavy brush on south Texas range and invaded by mesquite and other shrubs. The local topography is fairly flat, with water standing after heavy rains. The elevation varies from 3 to 60 meter. The climate is semi-arid. Black lace cactus occurs on somewhat saline clay and silt sheets (composed of clay, fine silt sand and gravel).


All seeds are fresh of this season and obtained from my personal collection.

NOTE: cactus seeds could be sown in any season under control environment,  however if you wanna go with nature then best time to sow the seeds is early spring/summer
