Care Tips
Disocactus anguliger is native to the evergreen forests in south mexico where grows on other, larger plants, much like an orchid!. Taking its native habitat into account, this plant has some idosyncratic needs compared to other cacti. Still, it can be an easy plant to grow indoors. A healthy Disocactus anguliger will need:
- plenty indirect sunlight. At least a few feet away from east-west facing windows.
- a pebble tray, humidity-loving neighbors, and light mistings during warmer months will help maintain humidity, especially if indoors.
- soil that is very well draining, but also rich in organic material/humus.
- regular feeding (1-2 times a month) with a cactus fertilizer works well to promote growth and maybe even some flowers!
