The Rainbow Hedgehog Cactus is a vibrant desert cactus known for its colorful bands of pink and cream spines and bright spring blooms. It thrives in full sun and requires minimal watering, with soil that dries out completely between waterings. Excellent drainage and plenty of light help maintain its compact shape and vivid color. During winter, reduced watering and a cooler rest period support healthy growth and flowering. Easy to maintain and visually striking, it’s a perfect addition to any sunny indoor space

3. Graptoveria Amethorum

Full sun, Partial Sun. A well-drained succulent mix, with an ideal pH around 6.0. Only needs occasional water. Avoid letting water sit for too long in the rosette to prevent rot and fungal diseases. Feed once with a weak fertilizer at the beginning of the growing season (Spring or Summer). You can propagate Graptoveria ‘Debbie' by seeds, leaf cuttings or offsets.
4. Sempervivum Calcareum
It is a succulent perennial plant that can reach 6 inches (15 cm) tall. Its rosettes are beautifully symmetrical with a dome shape. The leaves are blue-green and have pointy burgundy tips. Sempervivum calcareum forms dense mats by multiplying via short-stalked offsets. In summer, some mature rosettes produce clusters of starry, yellow-eyed, light pink flowers on thick stalks.
The rosettes that flower will naturally die afterwards, but by this time, the plant has likely produced many offsets that will continue to grow.
