An epiphytic cacti from Brazil, with blooms of yellow flowers in spring to early summer, It is easily propagated with cuttings. This is a most unusual plant and a conversation piece.

Rating for this plant:
Makes an airy hanging plant and may get fairly big over time. Have found it very easy to grow and propagate using regular potting mix. Should throughly dry before watering.
