Rhipsalis Salicornioides (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rhipsalis salicornioides (also called Hatiora salicornioides, Dancing Bones Cactus, Drunkard's Dream, Spice Cactus) is originally a forest cactus, growing as epiphytes at elevations between 0 and 1850 meters in Brazil. It is sometimes grown both indoors and outdoors as an ornamental. The plant is made of many-branched stems that are up to 60 cm in length. A stem consists of smaller segments with a length of up to 3 cm. The segment has a shape that resemble a bottle. The contorted stems may account for the common names "Dancing Bones Cactus" and "Drunkard's Dream," or the bottle shape of the segments may account for the latter.
