Very free flowering, many attractive tubular flowers, crimson pink in colour and up to 3 inches long appear in mid to late spring lasting for a few days. These cactus are perfect for providing a dramatic accent to your house or office.

These types of cacti are Epiphytic, meaning in habitat they grow in trees or Lithophytic living on rocks, getting their nutrients from the air or dead leaves and other debris collected in the cracks or crevasses.
