Im Jahr 1827 stellten Heinrich Friedrich Link und Christoph Friedrich Otto diese Gattung auf. Er leitet sich aus dem griechischen Wort „echinos” – Igel ab, was zusammengesetzt als “Igelkaktus” bzeichnet werden kann. Er bezieht sich auf die meist kugelige Form der Arten in dieser Gattung und der derben Bedornung.
Verbreitungsgebiet:
Nordamerika:
Mexiko – vom Norden bis zur Mitte
USA – im Süden
Kulturhinweise
- Die Gattung beinhaltet sehr langsam wachsende Arten, die leicht zu kultivieren sind
- Die meisten Pflanzen blühen erst ab einem stattlichen Alter
Substrat:
Mineralische Standardmischung
(Bims, Zeolith, Kies, Kieselgur in der Körnung 1-4 mm)
Wachstumszeit:
April – September
- Gewächshaus, Frühbeet, regengeschützter Platz auf dem Balkon oder der Terrasse, mit möglichst viel Frischluft
- Vollsonniger und warmer Standort, bei sehr heißen Temperaturen auf Luftbewegung achten
- Vorsichtig gießen bzw. Gießintervall so wählen, das das Substrat auch wieder abtrocknet
Ruhezeit:
Oktober – März
- Absolute Trockenheit, bei durchschnittlich 8°C
- Aufgrund des großen Verbreitungsgebietes tolerieren einige Arten auch kurzzeitig Frost bis -15°C
