Rating for this plant:
A cute little cactus, it's fairly easy to care for if you're good at taking care of cacti, although I left mine in the care of my relatives for a week and it was in bad shape. So, overall, a good plant for the cactus gardener. Also, I have heard that it blooms from early spring to late summer, so that is what is listed, as it probably would outdoors, but my houseplant one blooms in December.
