The term "peanut cactus" refers to the species of cactus named "Echinopsis chamaecereus" It is called peanut cactus because its underground stems resemble peanuts. The cactus grows in a bushy way, and at the tips of its stems, it makes groups of small, bright, colorful flowers. It comes from South America and is often grown as a houseplant because it looks nice.

Light: Peanut cactus does best in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can burn the plant.

Water: Water your peanut cactus about once every two weeks. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Temperature: Peanut cactus prefers temperatures between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fertilizer: Fertilize your plant once a month during the spring and summer months. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer and dilute it to half-strength.

Potting: Repot your peanut cactus every two to three years. Use a well-draining soil and a pot with drainage holes.

Pruning: Prune your plant as needed to keep it tidy and to encourage new growth. Be sure to use sharp, clean pruning shears.
