Disocactus flagelliformis or the Rattail Cactus is so named because of its whip-like or flagellated "tails".

It belongs to the cactus family (Cactaceae) and originates from South America where it would grow epiphytically or lithophytically dependant on its surroundings.

Providing a minimum temperature of 6°C, a partially-shaded position and a nutrient and sand-rich potting mix is enough to suit these elongated cacti. Report every other year in fresh soil regardless of if they have outgrown their last pot as the soil will acidify otherwise. Cut old and discoloured stems off at the base in winter to allow for spring growth. Additionally, during the winter months, water the Disocactus less than you would in warmer spells.

Tropical cacti!

Schlumbergera sp. Flor de maio, holiday cactus, or my personal favorite, crab cactus. One of the earlier plants that got me started with all this. Extensive hybridization since the early-mid 1800's makes exact species/ cultivar harder to determine. Likely in the truncata group, but need to do a deeper dive and get in contact with the donor.

Disocactus anguliger. At least I'm pretty sure it is based on leaf shape. There are a few other cacti that go by fishbone or zig-zag cactus. Yay plants that look alike. Quite a number of cultivars and hybrids, flowering should help narrow it.
