Details: It is distinctive for its long, trailing stems, which grow to about 4 feet at maturity. This plant is drought-tolerant and can survive long periods with little care. If you repot it annually and give it lots of nutrients, it should produce pleasant pink blooms in spring. This is a cactus that thrives in desert conditions: bright, direct sunlight year-round will help it thrive. Place it in a south- or west-facing window to receive direct sun. Water regularly during the growing season to keep the soil slightly moist. Reduce watering in the fall, tapering it off as you move toward winter. Easy to propagates best by stem cuttings. Sever any part of a stem, allow it to dry for a few days so that the cut end forms a callus, then repot the cutting in rich, organic soil.
