Technical Description of Plant:

'Echinopsis 'Takeda' has a rounded to slightly elongated body, with a green, ribbed, and spiny surface typical of this genus. Growing up to 15-20 cm in height and diameter, the plant’s major attraction is its flowers. The blossoms are large and striking, with a two-tone color palette—outer petals in soft, light pink forming a delicate outer ring, and inner petals in bright yellow. The petals are slightly tubular, gently curving outward to create an elegant, trumpet-like shape that enhances its ornamental appeal. The combination of soft pink and vibrant yellow, along with the unique petal shape, makes 'Takeda' a truly beautiful and eye-catching specimen.

Origin of Plant:
As a carefully bred hybrid, 'Takeda' results from crossing different Echinopsis species native to South America’s arid and mountainous regions. Its stunning floral traits are achieved through meticulous selective breeding aimed at producing visually stunning, two-tone flowers with a distinctive tubular shape.

Conservation Status:
Since 'Takeda' is a cultivated hybrid, it does not have a specific conservation status. Its propagation through responsible cultivation supports the preservation of Echinopsis diversity and reduces pressure on wild populations.

Care Instructions:
Thrives best in well-draining, mineral-rich soil and enjoys full sun exposure. During the spring and summer, water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during winter, and protect from frost by bringing the plant indoors or shielding it outdoors in colder climates. Occasional fertilization during the growing season promotes healthy growth and abundant blooms.

Enjoy the delicate beauty of 'Takeda' and its stunning two-tone, tubular-shaped flowers—a sophisticated and captivating addition to any cactus collection.
