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

Care Tips
