1. Colorful Cactus
Raoul Wallenberg Cereus
When it comes to cacti species with colorful blooms, the colorful cactus must be mentioned. In fact, the colorful cactus belongs to the horticultural variety of grass balls and is named "colorful cactus" because of its particularly beautiful flowers.
The colorful cactus stands out from ordinary grass balls. It does not refer to a particular cactus species; it is actually a crossbreed based on the grass ball, hybridized with other beautiful flower cacti, or crossed with cacti species like the wool flower pillar, epiphyllum, and sword lily, making it a horticultural ornamental variety.

The entire ball of the colorful cactus may look ordinary, but it can produce bright large flowers, with some varieties even capable of producing flowers 10 to 20 centimeters in diameter, larger than the whole grass ball.

They are also easy to bloom and are therefore favored by flower enthusiasts. For example, the classic Cereus series like Comfort and Evening Glow.
2. Echinopsis Cacti
Parodia crassigibba
Echinopsis cacti include 66 to 69 species, which are small, ball-shaped cacti and also include some low, columnar cacti generally below 1 meter in height. Their native region is in South America.
Parodia haselbergii
Echinopsis cacti have high temperature requirements and are best kept at temperatures above 10 degrees Celsius year-round. If the temperature drops below 10 degrees, they will enter a dormant state, and their roots may wither. They will regrow new roots the following year, but the new roots grow slowly, which can affect blooming later on.
