Hedgehog cactus (Echinocereus engelmannii) is a drought-tolerant plant that does not require frequent watering. Hedgehog cactus is commonly found in desert areas of the southwestern United States and the adjacent areas of Mexico, including the states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Baja California and Sonora.
Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. When potted, water slowly, wait for water to flow out the bottom.
In growing seasons (namely spring and summer), fertilize it once a month with liquid fertilizer. No fertilizer is required in winter. A small amount of slow-release fertilizer can be well mixed into the soil when repotting in spring or fall.
It needs sufficient sunlight for its growth and blooming. It can be placed on the outdoor balcony or in the garden without shade. However, long-time exposure to blazing sunlight should be avoided in hot summer, when it needs to be shaded or cooled a little to prevent high temperatures from damaging it.
