check_circle In Stock
Hatiora cylindrica is a branching, epiphytic cactus native to the Atlantic Forest regions of eastern Brazil. Thriving in humid, shaded woodlands and montane cloud forests, this species is notable for its upright, pencil-thin stems and compact habit, making it especially attractive in hanging baskets or mounted displays.
Distinctive Features
- Stem Shape: Narrow, cylindrical green stems that grow upright and arch with age.
- Growth Habit: Naturally shrubby with a soft, bushy silhouette, reaching around 50 cm when established.
- Seasonal Blooms: Delicate yellow flowers emerge at the segment tips, typically in late spring to early summer.
Care Tips
