We thank Elvia Speranza for the supervision of the information who, with her husband Moreno, takes care of the Cactus House<\/a><\/span> with great love and expertise for cacti and succulents.<\/p>\n Thelocactus bicolor<\/p>\n Thelocactus bicolor v. bicolor,Thelocactus bicolor v. bolaensis,Thelocactus bicolor v.commodus,Thelocactus bicolor v.schwarzii,Thelocactus bicolor v. schottii<\/p>\n Cactaceae<\/p>\n the species is native to central-northern Mexico (states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo Leon, San Luis Potosi, Tamaulipas and Zacateca) and from the USA. (Texas)<\/p>\n in nature it grows in semi-arid areas, in association with thorny shrubs, between 300 and 1800 m. of altitude, for this reason it tolerates temperatures below zero.<\/p>\n evergreen<\/p>\n 10 \u2013 15 cm (in nature 26 \u2013 28 cm)<\/p>\n 10 \u2013 15 cm (in nature 16 cm)<\/p>\n ovate\/cylindrical shape, columnar with age<\/p>\n green to gray-green or yellowish-green.<\/p>\n Scenographic as per genus, up to 10 cm wide, bell-shaped, magenta (or pink or red) and arise from the most recent areoles.<\/p>\n from spring to summer. The flowers only open in bright sunshine and when temperatures are high. Towards evening the flower closes but can also last from 3 to 5 days<\/p>\n 10-20 mm long, green to red-brown in color and covered with scales.<\/p>\n it is formed by 8-12 ribs, wide and slightly tuberculate, arranged in a spiral in the older specimens, with woolly circular areoles spaced up to 2 cm apart. The areoles are equipped with 9-18 radial spines of red colour, in various gradations and yellowish apex (hence the name bicolor) up to 3 cm long. It has 1 to 4 red central spines, straight and 3-6 cm long. Rarely branches at the base.<\/p>\n not known<\/p>\n simple<\/p>\n full sun<\/p>\n generally stony limestone<\/p>\n pH between 7,5 and 8,5<\/p>\n it can be grown outdoors only in non-humid areas (all of central and southern Italy) in the north it must be protected from winter rain and prolonged intense cold<\/p>\n regular: in spring (10 days) in summer (also every week). In autumn (20-25 days) and in winter it stops. Important is the substrate that must not retain moisture<\/p>\n It can be affected by the usual succulent insects (cochineal and red spider mite). In the presence of high environmental humidity it can be affected by fungi (fusarium)<\/p>\n it reproduces by seed.<\/p>\n The name derives from the combination of the Greek term “thel\u00e9” which means “nipple” and cactus with reference to the tubercles on the ribs. Bicolor, as mentioned above is for plugs of two colors.<\/p>\n Plant that starts flowering from seed between 3 and 4 years, with even 2-4 flowers at the same time.<\/p>\n Also beautiful to see due to the colored spines<\/p>\n it is not used.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][dmg_masonry_gallery gallery=”6446,6436,6438,6442,6444″ columns=”1″ gutter=”360″ zoom_hover=”on” images_size=”dmg_image_extra_large” hover_overlay_effect=”nothing” columns_tablet=”2″ columns_phone=”1″ columns_last_edited=”on|desktop” gutter_tablet=”20″ gutter_phone=”20″ gutter_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_class=”gallery-schede-botaniche” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_align=”left” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dmg_masonry_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Consiglio MDG” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||20px||false|false” custom_padding=”10px|20px|20px|20px|false|true” border_radii=”on|15px|15px|15px|15px” border_width_all=”4px” border_color_all=”#d5de75″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n ELVIA SPERANZA’S COUNCIL<\/strong><\/p>\n Being easy to maintain, it also satisfies beginners. In 10 years, you can have plants of good size (even 15-18 cm) and very floriferous. It requires exposure to a lot of light even in winter.
