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
- Light: Bright, filtered light is ideal; avoid direct sun which may burn soft tissue.
- Water: Water moderately during growth; reduce in winter, allowing media to nearly dry.
- Humidity: Prefers higher humidity; benefits from regular misting in dry conditions.
- Media: Loose, well-drained mix—orchid bark, perlite, and peat or coir is recommended.
- Temperature: Optimal range is 15–26°C; not frost-tolerant.
- Fertiliser: Use a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly in the active season.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when pot-bound; spring is ideal.
