DANCING BONES CACTUS CARE: Tips For Growing A Thriving Hatiora Salicornioides

[@C2C.]

I've had mine for about 20 years. They propagate easily in water or in damp soil. I've never pruned mine -- just be sure to rotate the plant, so that it gets even light exposure over time. It's one of the lowest maintenance plants I have.

Hi - I've heard they propagate easily both ways; thanks for sharing. It certainly is an easy plant! Nell

I love this plant, bought it about 2" high and it's grown quite a bit in the last 4 years. I hope to propagate more later in the spring so I can fill it's pot. Thanks for your ideas!

I love mine. I’ve had it for 5 years. It’s the only rhipsalis I kept when I relocated to Phoenix this past summer. I hope I get flowers soon. 🤞🏽

Hi! I just commented on your shorter video of this plant. I'll have to watch this later tonight. Thank you...

[@carolsmith7951]

I appreciate this KZbin, I love this plant, have a small one, and I appreciate more care tips. Mine is growing very slowly so I guess I can fertilize more, and perhaps more water. Thanks!

P.S. Thank you for showing the Mistletoe Cactus....that's what mine is! I've propagated it in water successfully.

Hi - Good to know about the propagation in water. Thanks for sharing that! Nell

Hi Nel! 2 1/2 years ago I bought a selection of 4 pots of Rhipsalis (2-3" pots) but one wasn't marked. I think it's a Dancing Bones and🎉 they're now in 4" pots. Mine hang in a Southern exposure but it's aemi-obstructed so they're not getting blasted. Love this genus! Thank you for sharing your beautiful plant and care tips. ❤

Hi! Yes, these plants are so fun. That's a nice collection you have. And you're very welcome! Nell 🌹

[@davestelling]

P.S. I wish I could post a pic or two of Mom's plant I've inherited - it's spectacular!

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

[@JoyUsGarden]

Sure thing! A couple of people have commented here that these plants easily propagate. Nell
