Description:
Acanthocalycium leucanthum is a summer-growing cactus known for its cylindrical shape and white to pinkish flowers. This plant is native to Argentina and thrives in full sun or partial shade during the summer. It requires good drainage and very porous soil to prevent root rot. Acanthocalycium leucanthum is frost-resistant down to 14°F, making it a resilient choice for gardeners in cooler climates. Its unique appearance and adaptability make it a popular choice for cactus enthusiasts. This plant is a great option for those looking to add a touch of desert beauty to their garden.
