Rattail cactus, also known as Disocactus flagelliformis, Whip Cactus, Tail Cactus, Cactus flagelliformis
Rattail cactus has a relatively easy care regimen, emphasizing its adaptability as a hanging succulent. Key care points include abundant lighting, with partial direct sunlight being ideal, and a well-draining soil mix to prevent root rot. Special care should be given to watering practices: allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as overwatering can be detrimental.
