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.
