• Echinopsis oxygona, also known as the Easter Lily Cactus, is a species of cactus native to South Brazil, Uruguay, and northern Argentina. It is a globular to cylindrical cactus that can grow up to 12 inches tall and 18 inches wide.

  
  

   Its stems are covered in many sharp spines, and produce large flowers (up to 6 inches in diameter) with white or pink petals. The flowers are not only showy but have a light-pleasing scent, they open in the evening and close by midday.
  
  All of the plants may be shipped bare root.
• The Echinopsis oxygona is easy to care for and can be grown indoors or outdoors. When grown outdoors, it prefers full sun and should be placed in a bright window when grown indoors. 
  
  Use a sharp well draining soil, and allow all excess water to run off every time you water.
  
  Water it deeply during the growing season (spring and summer) and sparingly during the winter. Be careful not to overwater the cactus, as this can lead to root rot.
  
  These cacti are not toxic but remember they are also not soft and cuddly. Keep your Echinopsis oxygona out of the reach of kids and pets to avoid uncomfortable injuries.
