It is an easy to grow cactus with an angled stems, almost like rope, with a tiny strong spines. It flowers very profusely.
The flowers are up 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter, very profuse, with light red and peach tones. They can stay open for 3 to 4 days.
Aporophyllum should be grown in a rich but still well draining soil. They should be watered regularly and fertilized as well.
This is essential for good growth and flowering.
Disocactus dislike extreme heat and cold, so they are best green-housed during the depth of winter and heat of summer in hot dry climates.
They also prefer shade to sun, and like a little extra humidity in the air. Flowering in spring.
