Joeysplanting's Rat Tail Cactus
Disocactus flagelliformis

One of my Mom’s Cactus, that we’ve had forever. They are growing in hanging pots in our backyard patio.

Katied L, This Cactus is in a hanging basket in a semi covered patio, getting some morning sun, but during the day it is bright, but no direct light. We don’t really do anything special to it, just water when it looks dry (but not too much). I don’t think we even fertilize it.

During the winter, we just leave it alone, although this year one of the two pots might have gotten too wet and the base rotted, but my Mom just took the tips and repotted. Good luck with yours :)
