Make a statement with our 8" Rat Tail Cactus Hanging Basket, a wildly unique trailing cactus known for its long, slender stems that spill dramatically over the sides of the basket.
These aren't your typical little tabletop cactus! Rat Tail Cactus develops long, rope-like stems that can trail several feet as the plant matures, creating an incredible cascading display. Even better, established plants can produce beautiful, vibrant flowers along their trailing stems when growing conditions are right.
Perfect for hanging in a sunny window, greenhouse, sunroom, or protected outdoor space during the warmer months, this unusual cactus is an easy way to add serious texture and personality to your plant collection.

Plant Care
Place in bright light with several hours of direct or filtered sun for best growth and flowering.
Allow the soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly, then allow excess water to drain completely.
Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent soil mix and never allow the basket to sit in standing water.
Provide good airflow around the long trailing stems.
Protect from freezing temperatures and bring indoors before temperatures become too cold.
Handle carefully. Like other cacti, the stems are covered in small spines that can irritate skin.
With its crazy-long trailing stems, unusual texture and potential for gorgeous flowers, the Rat Tail Cactus is one of those plants people can't help but ask about. Hang it somewhere it has plenty of room to grow and let this weird little beauty do it
