Hatiora salicornioides
Hatiora salicornioides is an epiphytic cactus native to Brazil, often referred to as the "dancing cactus" due to the movement of its stems. This species is part of the Hatiora genus, which includes cacti typically found in humid, subtropical environments, often growing on trees or rocks.
Key Characteristics:
- Growth Form: This plant features slender, segmented stems that resemble tiny, branching "fingers." It is ideal for hanging baskets or elevated planters due to its cascading habit
- Flowers: Hatiora salicornioides produces small, tubular, bright yellow or orange flowers that bloom in the spring, often in clusters
- Habitat: Native to humid, subtropical forests, it thrives in well-draining soil and partial shade
Care Tips:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can 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 when growth slows
- Temperature: It thrives in warm temperatures, with an ideal range between 18°C and 24°C (64°F to 75°F). It does not tolerate frost
- Humidity: Hatiora salicornioides enjoys high humidity, so occasional misting or a humidity tray can help mimic its natural environment
