Echinopsis pentlandii, better known as Lobivia pentlandii, is a common attractive dwarf clumping cactus and particularly is fun as it matures and flowers at an early age. Probably the best known species, it includes many varieties of desirable plants with pretty flowers in almost any colour. This is one of the most variable species in the genus and has lots of unnecessary names, none deserving acceptance as shown by field studies (like many other cacti) and comprises a multitude of different regional or morphological forms as well as various cryptic allied species. But where each form is linked to others by populations of plants with intermediate characteristics. This species is in cultivation with many cultivated and propagated forms. Generations of cactophiles have had this plant as one of their first acquisition and few can have been disappointed by its easy cultivation and free-flowering habit. It is the type species of the genus Lobivia.

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 )
