Rat Tail cactus 'Aporocactus flagelliformis'

Introducing the rat tail cactus, known as Aporocactus flagelliformis, which is a popular hanging/trailing succulent plant that belongs to the Cactus family. The name "rat tail" is derived from the cactus's distinctive, long, slender stems that resemble the shape and texture of a rat's tail.  Native to Southwestern Mexico and Central America, the rat tail cactus features cylindrical, segmented stems that are typically bright green in color. The stems are covered in small spines or bristles, giving them a fuzzy or hairy appearance. The spines are usually soft and not sharp, making handling the plant relatively safe.   The rat’s tail cactus can grow around 2 to 5 feet long, depending on its growing conditions.
