ARIZONA-SONORA DESERT MUSEUM PLANT CARE INFORMATION Rattail Cactus Aporocactus flagelliformis DESCRIPTION: Rattail Catus (also known under the scientific name of Disocactus flagelliformis) has slender trailing stems that can grow 3 to 5 feet long and gracefully hang down over the sides of its pot. Stems of this handsome cactus are covered with short, reddish brown spines. New growth has brilliant pink spines. In spring, its stems bear dozens and dozens of reddish to fuchsia-pink tubular flowers that stand perpendicular to the stems. They are two to three inch long and can last for several days. In Mexico they grow at high altitudes where the night temperatures are very brisk. In rural areas the dried flowers are used medicinally. In the winter, old or discolored stems may be cut out at the base to encourage new growth. RECOMMENDED USE: Because of frost tenderness, Rattail Cactus is best grown in a container. CULTURE: Hardiness: Best protected below freezing. Sun tolerance: Best in light shade for at least the afternoon. Blooming and growth will suffer in darker conditions. Watering and feeding: Once the plants are established, keep the soil from completely drying out from April to October; less water is required from November until March, just enough to keep the stems from dying back. In winter, keeping the plants cold and dry encourages blooming. Feed with a weak fertilizer solution every month when in growth. Soil requirements: Best kept in a container with rich, but fast-draining potting soil. They should be repotted every other year because their soil tends to sour. Pruning: Can be nipped any time .

There Are Other Species That Have Thin Trailing Stems, with Spine Clusters
There are other species that have thin MottramPhoto: Roy Mottram Photo: Roy trailing stems, with spine clusters, and look like a normal cactus, for example Aporocactus (the Rat’s Tail Cactus, easy to grow and spectacular in a hanging basket) (Fig. 3) and Selenicereus (the Queen of the Night) (Fig. 4). This plant likes to climb and scramble along the rafters of a greenhouse, but be careful as it can push through vents. The flowers are produced throughout the summer and take several weeks to develop. The flowers begin to open around 8.00pm and are finished by 8.00am the next day, but it is worth staying up to see them. Around 230mm (9”) diameter, they form creamy white trumpets with brownish thin outer petals and are slightly scented. A third interesting genus is Rhipsalis with a profusion of, mainly, small flow- ers and colourful berries (Figs. 5a–c). It is a good idea to give all epiphytes a Fig. 3 Aporocactus flagelliformis, the Rat’s Tail Cactus spell outside during the frost free months of the summer. Hanging baskets can be hung under trees, where the dappled shade is ideal. Pots of epicacti like a shady wall, and will often set fruit. Suitable composts include any rich in humus or peat, preferably slightly acidic and with very good drainage by the liberal addition of grit, gravel and/or sharp sand. They often have quite small root systems, particularly schlumbergeras, so when repotting, choose a pot only a little larger than their current one. As for other cacti, leave dry for a week after repotting, and longer if there is any root damage or rot.

PC20 Doc. 16.3 Annex 2 ASSESSMENT OF TRADE IN EPIPHYTIC CACTI AND REVIEW OF LISTING OF CACTACEAE SPP. IN APPENDIX II 1. This document has been prepared by Mr James Grogan under contract with the CITES Secretariat.1 2. Background information can be found in two key CITES documents: CoP15 Doc. 55, submitted by the Management Authority of Switzerland, describes the issue under consideration in this report, whether certain genera of epiphytic cacti (seven as listed below) should be excluded from Appendix II based on the preponderance of artificially propagated compared to wild- collected specimens in international trade; IUCN Red List conservation status is reviewed, and trade data for gross exports of wild-collected specimens from range nations during 1975–2008 are presented; PC19 Doc. 14.1, prepared by the Chair of the Working Group on the Periodic Review with assistance from the Scientific Authority of Mexico, presents further analysis of trade data during 1998–2008 including the number of specimens of epiphytic cacti in trade that were artificially propagated, number of records and specimens that were wild collected, confiscated or seized, or of unknown origin during this period, and geographic ranges of species in question. Natural range, morphology & taxonomy of the epiphytic cacti 3. The Cactaceae are a New World family except for one species, the epiphytic Rhipsalis baccifera, which is also found in Africa, Madagascar and as far east as Sri Lanka. Seven genera are considered here: Disocactus, Epiphyllum, Hatiora, Lepismium, PseudoRhipsalis, Rhipsalis, and Schlumbergera. 4. These genera are grouped in two tribes of the subfamily Cactoideae within the Cactaceae family: Hylocereeae: Disocactus, Epiphyllum, PseudoRhipsalis Rhipsalideae: Hatiora, Lepismium, Rhipsalis, Schlumbergera 5.

Some Major Families and Genera of Succulent Plants
SOME MAJOR FAMILIES AND GENERA OF SUCCULENT PLANTS Including Natural Distribution, Growth Form, and Popularity as Container Plants Daniel L. Mahr There are 50-60 plant families that contain at least one species of succulent plant. By far the largest families are the Cactaceae (cactus family) and Aizoaceae (also known as the Mesembryanthemaceae, the ice plant family), each of which contains about 2000 species; together they total about 40% of all succulent plants. In addition to these two families there are 6-8 more that are commonly grown by home gardeners and succulent plant enthusiasts. The following list is in alphabetic order. The most popular genera for container culture are indicated by bold type. Taxonomic groupings are changed occasionally as new research information becomes available. But old names that have been in common usage are not easily cast aside. Significant name changes noted in parentheses ( ) are listed at the end of the table.

CACTUS CORNER NEWS Fresno Cactus & Succulent Society http://www.fresnocss.com Affiliated with the Cactus & Succulent Society of America Vol. 38 No. 11 November 2020 Still NO In Person Meetings...Please stay safe and try to stay active in some way. Remember if you need something we are a club so just reach out. Hope to see you soon! From our Speaker this month: Jeff Moore; I have owned and operated Solana Succulents - a small specialty succulent nursery - near San Diego for over 28 years. I have self-published 4 succulent books over the past 6 years - Spiny Succulents is my most recent. Married with two grown sons. Spiny Succulents. The talk and powerpoint will follow the flow of the book. I'll show images and talk about the primarily spiny succu- lents in cultivation: euphorbias, cacti, pachypodiums, alluaudias, fouquierias, and even a few spiny semi- succulent plants such as terrestrial bromeliads and cy- cads. I will talk about growing tips and take any ques- tions as we go (hopefully with the help of the moderator/ host). If anyone wants to buy the book before or after the talk, it can be purchased off of my website: www.solanasucculents.com. FROM THE PREZ... Hi Members, The end of the year is fast approaching and what a year has it been! This also means that winter is coming. We have already started to feel it with recent nighttime temperatures. This is always a stressful time of year when people begin worrying about their plants and what to do with them. It’s even worse when you purchased too many over the summer and don’t know where to put them.

Zane's Orchid Companion Plants at Woodstream Orchids 5810 Huntingtown Road Huntingtown, MD 20639 [email protected] Epiph
Zane’s Orchid Companion Plants at Woodstream Orchids 5810 Huntingtown Road Huntingtown, MD 20639 [email protected] Epiphytic cacti make up a group of a few hundred species endemic to Central and South America, Mexico, The Everglades in Florida, and Subharan Africa. Most folks are familiar with Christmas and Easter cacti which are hybrids. These are just the tip of the iceberg of a wonderful group of plants that are easy to grow and out of the ordinary. Zane’s Orchid Companion Plants at Woodstream orchids currently grows over 100 different species of epiphytic, or as Zane likes to say ”soft cacti”. Zane started working with Bill when he was four to propagate these cacti from seed and by cuttings. Money from cacti sales goes into his account. Now at age seven he is proud to offer a good selection that will continue to grow over time. Epiphytic cacti need: moderately bright to bright light (east or south window); a fast-draining potting mix like Pro-mix HP; dilute fertilizer during the growing season, water when dry, and intermediate to warm temperatures. There are many cultural references on line, so use a search engine like Google to easily access. Most plants are best sent as unrooted cuttings. Rooted and potted plants and hanging baskets are available at the nursery for pickup. Enjoy! Zane and Bill CODES: • A - Strong 6” cutting $5 • B - Strong 6” cutting $10 • C – Rooted Cutting $5 • D - Rooted Cutting $10 • E – 6 inch hanging basket $15 • F - 6 inch hanging basket $25 • G – 8 inch hanging basket $25 (larger plants of some species available at the nursery for pickup only) 1 Disocactus (1) Disocactus martianus (Aporocactus conzattii) A,C,G Epiphyllum (8) Epiphyllum anguliger B Epiphyllum cartagense A Epiphyllum crenatum (Mexico) A Epiphyllym hookeri ssp.

Presenting Plants for Show—Information for Exhibitors
CACTUS and SUCCULENT SOCIETY of NEW MEXICO P.O. Box 21357 Albuquerque, New Mexico 87154-1357 http://www.new-mexico.cactus-society.org PRESENTING PLANTS FOR SHOW—INFORMATION FOR EXHIBITORS It is perhaps a good idea to first point out some of the benefits to all concerned of entering plants in the Society’s shows. The show is an educational effort by the club for the public, which allows them to see beautiful plants that are new to them, to learn something about the types of succulents that exist, and to find out how they should look when properly cared for. It is useful to the Society in the acquisition of new members, the education of recent members, and the study and display of the plants for all members. Then, it is useful for the entrant to learn how the results of his/her cultivation methods compare to those of others, to learn the names and near relatives of his/her plants, and to show off the results of his/her work, as well as to participate in the above-mentioned educational efforts. Finally, it is good for the plants. As usual, first-, second-, and third-place ribbons will be awarded in each category or subcategory (as decided by the judges), as well as honorable mention ribbons, as deemed appropriate. However, additionally the judges will determine the best of designated plant categories for rosette awards, as well as a Sweepstakes Award (see page 2). Some helpful hints to exhibitors are: Plants should be in good condition: not etiolated (growing too fast toward the light), badly scarred or sunburned, or malformed because of improper cultural conditions.
