I purchased two Echinopsis last July at a cactus fair, labelked Echinopsis Goldeneye and Echinopsis Darleys Leopard. I was exoecting them to flower at some point but nothing much has hapoened, aoart from the Goldeneye thriwing out a bunch if offsets. Neither seem to have grown significantly since I got them. They're in my greenhouse, being kept nice and warm, watered regularly but not overmuch, the same as all my other pkants. I've had spectacular flowers this year but nothing from these two. Is it something I'm (not) doing?

They like a little more water than most desert cacti, maybe you're not giving them enough.

Echinopsis hybrids are generally easy to grow.

Thanks. I'll increase the watering and see what happens. Probably too late now for flowers this year, though.

Bud set happens during dormancy, appears in the spring as an enlarged areole. If you don't see any of those, no chance of flowers this year (though they don't always develop the first year after the bud is set).
