DETALLES

Instrucciones de cuidado
The Rat Tail Cactus requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate low humidity. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. During its dormancy period in winter, reduce watering significantly.
Suelo
Aporocactus flagelliformis prefers well-draining soil, such as a sandy cactus mix. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. Ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to mimic its natural habitat.
Fertilizante
Fertilize the Rat Tail Cactus with a balanced cactus fertilizer, such as 5-10-10, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth and flowering.
Trasplante
Repot the Rat Tail Cactus every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Handle the plant carefully to avoid damaging its delicate stems.
Propagación
Propagate Aporocactus flagelliformis by stem cuttings. Take cuttings during the growing season, allow them to callous over for a few days, and then plant them in well-draining soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until roots develop.
Poda
Prune the Rat Tail Cactus to remove any dead or damaged stems and to control its size. Pruning can be done during the growing season. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.
Toxicidad
Aporocactus flagelliformis is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always a good idea to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidental ingestion.
Adicional
The Rat Tail Cactus produces vibrant pink or red flowers in the spring, adding a splash of color to its trailing stems. It is an excellent choice for hanging baskets or as a trailing plant in a mixed succulent arrangement.
