Hatiora salicornioides, also known as Rhipsalis Hatiora, the Drunkard’s Dream or Dancing Bones Cactus, is a fascinating tropical cactus with slender, segmented stems that resemble a whimsical mix of coral and bottle shapes. This quirky, branching plant grows in an upright, bushy form before cascading gently, making it perfect for hanging planters or a sunny shelf. With the right care, it can even surprise you with small, bright yellow-orange blooms, adding a unique pop of colour to its unusual form.

This cactus thrives in bright, indirect light, similar to the filtered light of its natural forest habitat. Water when the top 50% of soil is dry, as it appreciates moisture but benefits from well-drained soil to prevent root rot. Its low-maintenance nature and quirky style make it a favourite for plant enthusiasts looking for something out of the ordinary.
