Chamaecereus ‘Rainbow Spirit’ – Magenta Flowering Peanut Cactus for Sale Online
A prolific blooming cactus featuring clustering peanut-shaped stems that erupt in dazzling deep pink-magenta flowers.
Description Chamaecereus ‘Rainbow Spirit’ is a charming clustering cactus, affectionately known as the Peanut Cactus due to its segmented, finger-like stems. The light green body is covered in soft, harmless white bristles, forming a low-growing, spreading mat.
It is prized for its spectacular floral display. In season, it produces an abundance of large, funnel-shaped flowers in an intense deep pink-magenta shade that nearly hides the plant beneath, making it a visual showstopper.
