Echinocereus nivosus

Echinocereus nivosus (Syn.: E. albatus) is a wonderful plant, densely covered with white, needle-like spines. It's a bit prone to rot so it needs a potting mix with excellent drainage. But, given that drainage, it's surprisingly hardy, taking temperatures down to -9C (16F). I've seen situations in the Portland area where it has survived outside in our winters, but I haven't had the courage yet...

Enjoy your plants!
