In its natural habitat, it reaches heights from 1.5 to 4 meters, and under favorable conditions, it can grow up to 7 meters tall. This species is distinguished by its unique structure, forming a characteristic trunk about 1 meter long, from which a crown of numerous upright shoots emerges. Some forms may be low and heavily branched, without a distinct trunk, not exceeding 1 meter in height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMorphological characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe stems of \u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eEulychnia acida\u003c\/strong\u003e have a diameter of 6-12 cm and feature 10-16 broad, low-set ribs. Areoles are spaced every 7-15 mm along the stem. The species is exceptionally spiny even from the seedling stage – each areole usually contains 1-2 long central spines reaching up to 20 cm in length and about 12 shorter radial spines approximately 1 cm long. Young spines are dark brown, gradually turning gray with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe growth of this species can be irregular and asymmetrical, which is an excellent adaptation to life in extremely dry conditions. This unusual growth form allows the plant to maximize the use of available water resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlowering and fruiting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eFlowers appear at the tips of the shoots and have a broadly bell-shaped form, 5-7 cm long and 4-6 cm in diameter. They are white with a distinctive pink stripe along the central part of the perianth segments. The fruits are spherical, 5-6 cm long, scaly, spineless, and fleshy. The pulp is juicy and pleasantly sour, which is reflected in the species name \"acida\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing in the temperate climate of Europe\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThis species grows best in very dry conditions on a well-draining, mineral substrate. It requires a sunny position and limited watering, mimicking its natural environment, which is extremely poor in rainfall. Due to its origin from the deserts of Chile, it tolerates drought and strong sunlight very well. In temperate regions, it can be grown in cactus collections, in pots, with very good soil drainage. The key to successful cultivation is providing proper drainage conditions and minimizing watering during the winter period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mr.seed","offers":[{"title":"10","offer_id":53051506458952,"sku":"2290","price":8.9,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"50","offer_id":53051506491720,"sku":"2291","price":35.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"100","offer_id":53051506524488,"sku":"2292","price":68.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/2649\/0440\/files\/3ad7f8ae-7a7d-4cc7-9cb9-a2cfbe76106f.jpg?v=1778085185","url":"https:\/\/www.mrseed.eu\/en\/products\/nasiona-kaktusa-copao-eulychnia-acida","provider":"mr.seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
