Echinopsis Chamaecereus Luisramirezii can be found in Argentina and Bolivia. They differ from the other chamaecereus peanut cacti due to their thinner and longer stems. Their spines are adpressed, soft, bristle-like, and white and they radiate.
They are fairly easy to grow and suited for hanging baskets and their stems will be long as they mature. Chamaecereus grow in well-drained soil in a sunny spot. Ensure they receive moderate water in the summer months. Peanut cacti do need the winter rest to produce an abundance of beautiful orange flowers in the summer, so cut back on the water during the cool months.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROOTING CUTTINGS
Offsets can be inserted (1" - .5" deep) or lay on top of the soil. When soil is dry, water the plant sparingly. Roots should form in the following two weeks. Plants should be in bright shade during the rooting period. To avoid leaves from getting burnt, acclimatize the plant to full sun.
