Easter Lily Cactus is native to South Brazil, Uruguay and northern
Argentina. The plant has a spherical shape with 11-15 "wings" carrying
spines. Flowers are large, at the ends of long tubes, white to lavender
with sharply pointed petals, and a fine faint scent. Usually, the cactus
will start to have little buds appear at its base. These buds can be
plucked off and transplanted into a different pot for further growth into
a mature cactus. Usually, the cactus will bloom in mid summer. Usually
these are outdoor plants. These plants are used to the dry, desert
climate, so they do not need to be watered every day.
