The pot is there the bloom is just so big you cant see it!! Some of these echinopsis hybrids have flowers over 6" wide. I grow all of my cactus in clay pots.

I grow them in a store bought cactus mix to which I add a lot of perlite and builders sand. Once potted I cover the exposed soil surface with pea pebbles.

I took this pic not quite a month ago. This is just a small portion of my cactus collection. They are lined up on a full sized picnic table and since this pic was taken 2 more tables that size have been added end to end so I could get the rest of the plants out of the gh.

There are also quite a few very large hanging basket specimen plants scattered around as well. See hoyas arent my only passion!!
