Looking for a low-maintenance cactus that can add some charm to your indoor or outdoor space? Look no further than the Echinopsis oxygona (previously known as Echinopsis multiplex) native to South America! It is commonly known as the Easter Lily Cactus due to its large, white, lily-like flowers that bloom during the Easter season. It is also known as the easter lily plant or night-blooming cereus. It gets its botanical name from the Greek words "ehinus" (hedgehog) and "opsis" (spines and shapes).  

This fast-growing easter lily cactus has a ribbed stem that can grow up to 12 inches tall and 6 inches wide. It has a cylindrical, globular body that is light green in color and covered in white spines. With sweetly scented, funnel-shaped white, yellow, or pink flowers, these easter lily cactus bloom once a year around easter or early summer. It has very large, fragrant nocturnal flowers, and many plant lovers are willing to care for it all year for one or a few magical nights with exotic charm. On warm days in summer, the Echinopsis oxygona flowers bloom at dusk and wilt the following afternoon.  

It is a relatively rapidly growing species that will make large clumps given the best conditions. The easter lily cactus is extremely resistant to cultivation and easily propagated by offsets from the mother plant. This mat-forming easter lily cactus plant is sure to be a hit with both experienced gardeners and beginners alike.

Watering Needs

The Easter Lily cactus is a drought-tolerant plant that requires minimal watering but not too much moisture. Overwatering can cause root rot and other issues. The Echinopsis cactus should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely before watering again. During the growing season, which is typically in the spring and hot summer seasons (the blooming period), it should be watered once every 2–3 weeks.

Because there is much more sun exposure, even on a shaded porch, a potted Easter lily cactus kept outside typically requires more water than the same plant kept indoors.

In the winter months, the cactus plant should be watered even less frequently, about once a month. When watering the Easter Lily plant, it is important to use well-drained soil and a pot with drainage holes. The cactus should be watered until the soil is moist but not soaked. Any excess water should be allowed to drain out of the pot.

Light Requirements

The Easter Lily cactus requires bright full sunlight or partial shade to thrive. Native to warm locations, this cactus is used in bright, sunny conditions. However, prolonged direct sunlight can burn the Echinopsis cactus and cause damage. Therefore, it is best to place it in a location where it can receive bright light for most of the day. If you are growing the easter lily cactus indoors, a south-facing window is a good choice. 

If the Easter Lily cactus is not receiving enough light, it may become leggy and weak. It may also fail to flower. If this occurs, it is important to move the cactus to a brighter location. If the cactus is receiving too much light, the cactus may turn yellow or brown, and it may become dehydrated. In this case, the easter lily plants should be moved to a location with less direct sunlight. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Easter Lily cactus prefers well-draining potting soil that is slightly acidic. We believe the best option is to use Go to soil cactus mix blend 1 gal 4 qt cacti succulent dirt compost growing media that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your cactus to thrive.The soil should not be too heavy or compact, as this can lead to issues with drainage and root rot. A pot with drainage holes is also important to ensure that excess water can drain out of the soil. 

During the growing season, which is typically in the spring, the easter lily cactus benefits from occasional fertilization as a portion of plant food. A balanced natural fertilizer (NPK) can be used once a year to encourage healthy growth and flowering. However, it is important not to over-fertilize the easter lily cactus, as this can lead to salt buildup in the soil and other issues. During the winter months, this cactus does not need to be fertilized, as it can cause stunted growth or other fungal diseases. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

The Echinopsis oxygona is hardy in USDA hardiness zones 8 to 11. This means that it can tolerate temperatures down to 25 degrees Fahrenheit and is resistant to light frost for short periods. If you live in a colder climate, the easter lily cactus should be grown in a container and brought indoors during the cold weather. 

In addition to its hardiness zone requirements, the easter lily cactus prefers warm temperatures and does best in temperatures between 65 and 74 °F. It also prefers low humidity, so it may not do well in areas with high humidity levels. 

With the help of the Echinopsis oxygona easter lily cactus, you'll start to spend less time maintaining your garden and more time taking in its beauty!

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.
