Hatiora Salicornioides Dancing Bones Cactus
- Plant Description
- Specifications and Regions
- Watering and Light Recommendations
The Hatiora Dancing Bones Cactus originates from Brazil and boasts graceful, bottle-shaped green stems adorned with velvety bristles. It displays a natural inclination to branch out, giving rise to arching and pendant stems that can extend up to 3.0' in length. Unlike typical cacti, this species thrives epiphytically, thriving on tree trunks rather than soil. Vibrant yellow to orange flowers can emerge at the tips of young stem segments in its wild habitat.
- Native to: Brazil
- Hardiness: Tender soft succulent, susceptible to frost
- Zone: Suitable for zones 9b-11
- Recommended light conditions: Partial Sun
- Bloomtime: Summer-Fall
- Bloom Color: Yellow
Indoors: Instead of providing your succulents with small amounts of water throughout the week, it is advisable to thoroughly soak the soil until water drains from the pot's drainage holes. Ensure that any excess water in the saucer is discarded, as succulents prefer not to sit in water. Allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
Outdoors: During the summer, water your succulents every two weeks by giving them a deep soak and allowing the soil to dry before watering again. In the winter, watering once a month is sufficient.
