Pink Easter Lily Cactus ( Echinopsis eyriesii ) is a native of Brazil and Argentina in South America. In our area it is grown as a houseplant as it is only hardy to USDA zone 9. Left outside to overwinter and it will die. This cactus has a rounded cylindrical growth form like those of barrel cacti.   The Pink Easter Lily Cactus is very easy to grow. Place it in a sun filled room with any with bright light. Water only occasionally as overwatering may cause root rot and death of your cactus.   This cactus produces numerous “pups” or smaller rounded stem segments that can be detached and rooted. It is a slow growing cactus reaching 12” to 15” tall after 25 – 30 years.   In the nursery we have learned that we can induce flowering but not watering it for a period of 6 – 8 weeks. We usually stop watering and January 1 st and resume watering on February 14 th . Spectacular elongated Pink Flowers appear in early to late spring. Photos & Narrative By: Stephe

Euphorbia cactiformis is a low maintenance and low water houseplant that is native to Africa. It is an indoor cactus due to our cold winters as it is only hardy to about 25°F. It will thrive in a room with bright light, either in full or indirect sun.   Euphorbia cactiformis grows as an evergreen shrub to 6' – 10’ tall and wide. Its stems are thick and green with the occasional short spine.     It can be pruned as needed as a short shrub or let it grow to your ceiling as a small tree. With just the right pruning it can quite be the artistic masterpiece.   As a Euphorbia this plant will ooze white latex when its branches are cut or broken. Latex is an irritant to mucous membranes. Larger specimens need to be grown in containers suitable to support their weight.   Trees That Please Nursery offers small containerized Euphorbia cactiformis plants.   Photos & Narrative By: Stephen Sain Staff Plant Physiologist

Red Hot Pokers ( Kniphofia spp .) are also known as torch lilies, poker plant, tritoma, or knofflers. Red Hot Pokers are native to Africa. The more commonly planted varieties are perennial that return each year with beautiful torch like flower clusters   that sit atop long spikes. Individual flowers in each cluster are tubular and may be various shades of orange, yellow, or bicolor.       Plants have long strap like leaves that resemble those of day lily.   The flowers produce nectar that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Plants may reach 1’ – 3’ wide and 2’ – 4’ tall and when in bloom are quite spectacular. Red Hot Pokers do well in part to full sun with low to regular water. They are hardy to USDA zone 5. The nursery tries to keep these in stock through summer. Photos & Narrative By: Stephen Sain Staff Plant Physiologist
