Disocactus quezaltecus
Disocactus quezaltecus is a species of epiphytic cactus native to Guatemala, named after the region of Quetzaltenango. This species is part of the Disocactus genus, which includes cacti that often grow in forested environments, either as epiphytes on trees or lithophytes on rocks.
Key Characteristics:
- Growth Form: It typically features slender, pendant stems that make it an excellent candidate for hanging baskets or elevated planters.
- Flowers: Its blooms are tubular, often in shades of pink or red, and are quite striking. Flowering tends to occur in the spring or early summer.
- Habitat: Native to humid, subtropical forests, it thrives in well-draining soil and partial shade.
Care Tips:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight as it may scorch the plant.
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.
- Temperature: It enjoys warm temperatures and doesn’t tolerate frost. Aim for a range between 15°C and 25°C (59°F to 77°F).
- Humidity: High humidity levels mimic its natural environment, so occasional misting or a humidity tray can be beneficial.
