Five-Spine Rating -
4?
Yes - small container size plant. This variety will occupy a small flower pot comfortably and remain a manageable sized house plant.
Yes - tolerates low light levels. This variety will do well as a houseplant in locations with short periods of direct sun and some indirect or filtered light.
This variety requires temperatures to be above 50°F just to survive and will be much happier if year round temperatures remain even warmer and stable.
Yes - easy care root system. This variety stores water in the parts of the plant which are above the soil leaving the root system small enough to fit into a proportionally sized flower pot.
Yes - flowers easily as a house plant. This variety is likely to flower as a house plant, but results will depend on a variety of growing conditions.
Good locations
Potential living space locations include; East, West windows, but a South window or a three to four seasons room will work if the plant is partially shaded. This species needs warmth all year round and is recommended for well insulated draft free areas that constantly remain above 50 °F. If this variety is to be set outdoors during the growing season it needs to be located mostly in filtered light, but will tolerate lots of rain. These cacti make excellent house plants and can be treated like most indoor plants with regular potting soil and regular watering.
Size
This is a multi stemmed plant with an established root system, and makes a great hanging basket cactus.
Ancestry
Parent plants originally from Mexico and Central America and likely current forms are a hybrid produced in greenhouse propagation.
Plant Origin
Propagated from stem cuttings by windowsillcactus.com.
