The Aporocactus flagelliformis is a beautiful cactus species that is well suited for a hanging pot. The Aporocactus flagelliformis occurs naturally in the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Hildago. This cactus grows here in dry forest areas with low vegetation. This cactus often grows between rock crevices and on slopes. Its stem then grows hanging over the rocks.

The Aporocactus flagelliformis produces many thin, fresh green stems. When the plant gets older, the colors of the stems can change to gray-green. The stem can grow to two lengths with a diameter of 1-2 cm. The stems are covered with small transparent spines.

When the Aporocactus flagelliformis is happy with you, it will flower easily. She usually does this in the middle and end of summer. The flowers often appear in large numbers from the sides of the stems. They have a bright pink color and remain open for several days.

This cactus is very fragile, but because it is popular and has a beautiful appearance, we still want to offer it. We pack these cacti as best as possible. However, it may happen that some stems break off during transport. You can pot these again after +- 2 weeks of drying. These will then continue to grow again from spring onwards.
