Hatiora salicornioides

Description

This bushy cactus is formed of slender, bottle-shaped shaped branches. Its wild growth habit has earned it the name of ‘Dancing-Bones Cactus’. During the spring season yellow-orange, funnel shaped flowers emerge from the tips of its segments. Make sure after flower buds form, and during flowering, that the plant isn’t moved or disturbed!

WATERING

In S/S water when 50% of the soil has dried out. In A/W allow soil to dry out 80%. Increase watering slightly while plant is flowering, then significantly decrease once blossoms have fallen off.

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS

Full sun, but protect from harsh afternoon rays.

FEED

If not repotting then you can use a well-balanced cactus feed every month from April – September.

REPOTTING

Repot this plant every two years to replenish the soil and to allow extra room for the roots to spread out. Use a well-draining and gritty cactus compost.
