Lobivia Winteriana is
native to Bolivia and Peru and has distinctive spination though the best
feature is the bright fuchsia pink flower colour. The flowers are larger than the plant body,
about 7cms across and the plant listed here should be flowering size next year. The best description is to see the photo of
the plant on offer, it has been grown from seed and measures 3.2cms across
- They
like to grow in a bright spot preferably in full sun. They are not frost hardy, water when
dry, about every two weeks. Keep dry during the winter.
- We're now using Royal Mail Tracked
48 Post, and packing in the UK is £4.95. This is meant to
arrive in an average 48 hours according to Royal Mail. There
is no charge for any extra plants so combined shipping in the UK will
never be more than £4.95 in total, if you buy one plant or more than one
plants the total will still be the same £4.95. We
only charge the actual cost of postage and packing materials.
- Sorry but we can’t post outside the UK as Phytosanitary and CITES
permits are too expensive and not suitable for small numbers of plants.

- The plant will be sent without the pot and any loose compost, and well packed. On receipt pot into
free draining compost, we suggest a mix of two parts good quality John
Innes soil based compost to one part coarse grit. Use fairly shallow pots,
most cacti and succulents are not deep rooted.
- .
- The plant will be sent within two days of receipt of payment.
We normally stop watering a plant once it is listed on ebay as
plants are much better shipped when dry and it is nothing to worry about
if roots are dry on arrival.
We've been growing cacti and succulents since 1975
and regularly give talks at BCSS branch meetings and judge cactus shows during
the summer. If you're not a member of the British Cactus & Succulent
Society, have a look at their website,
most branches have regular monthly meetings and there's always a warm welcome
for prospective new members.
