Somehow I was presented with Echinopsis. Of particular interest, frankly, I have not experienced to him. But when he first bloated for the first time, he was surprised and delighted 
But I wish this spectacle to see this flower - unmatched beautifully!
Cactus loves a well-lit place, so it stands on the southern windowsill. But if the sun is very bright, it needs to shade. While I did not understand it, the plant got a burn.
I water as follows: once every two weeks the earthen comes in full, and between the main irrigation - as the soil dries, but gradually. A couple of times a week spray from the sprayer.
In winter, the temperature in the room is + 18-22 degrees., In the summer it is significantly higher, but at that time echinopsis costs under the open window. For the winter, I put the plant on the floor in the "green corner" in the half-meter from the heating battery.
I transplant it only once. At the bottom of the pot put drainage. The mixture was prepared from a humoring and ordinary garden land. The diameter of the pot is -18 cm. Noted that in the cramped cactus blooms richly and does not forms children. If kids appear, remove them. Feed a cowper twice during flowering.
As you can see, I did not put much work, and the result is stunning!
