Aporocactus
Flagelliformis, also called cereus Flagelliformis (rattail cactus)
The rattail cactus has trailing strems, only about ½ inch across but as much 3 feet long. They bear short, set spines of yellow or reddish brown and, in the late spring pink flower 3 to 3 inches long. The rattail cactus is usually grown either in a hanging container or gfarted to the top of a tall growing cactus so that its trailing stems create a fountainlike effect. Both methods display the plant well and also keep the stems clean by preventing them from touching soil an important conciderations with cacti sice the plants cannot be washed or wiped.
How to grow
The rattail catus does best where it gets
four or more hours a day of
direct sunlight , or where artificial and natural light average 1,000 foot
candles over 12 hour a day, but it grows
fairly well in bright indirect light,
such asa that reflected from light walls. In winter, night
temperature of 40 to 45 and day temperature under 65 are
ideal, but from spring through fall, nigh temperatures of 65 to 70 and day temperature of 75 to 85 are
preferable. Allow the soil to become moderately
dry between thorough watering
from spring through fall. In winter, water only enough to keep the
plants from shriveling. Do not fertilize newly potted plants for the first years, established plant should be
fed once each spring.
