Hatiora salicornioides (Dancing Bones Cactus) This epiphytic jungle cactus is endemic to southeastern Brazil, found across Bahia, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Paraná within the Atlantic Forest ecoregion. It grows on trees and rocky outcrops, rarely rooted in soil, at elevations from 660 to 5,740 feet. Features slender, many-branched stems with small, bottle- or club-shaped segments, giving it a cool jointed appearance—hence the “Dancing Bones” nickname. This is a great one for all you “dangly” plant people. Stems can grow to be several feet long with a pendent habit. Bell-shaped, orange-yellow flowers appear at branch tips in late winter to early spring. Care Requirements: Bright, indirect light—tolerates some dappled morning sun but protect from harsh afternoon sun. Our Classic or Shaggy Aroid & Hoya Mix provides the ideal well-draining substrate. Water when the potting mix is about 2/3 dry but avoid it going completely dry or sitting soggy wet. It prefers lots of humidity and a minimum temperature of 54°F. but is surprisingly hearty and can be a great houseplant care typical of all the Rhipsalis and waxy leafed Hoyas. All and all an easy, cool plant to grow. .
