The Hanging Rat Tail Succulent, in a 6-inch pot, is a stunning and unique trailing plant known for its long, slender, and cylindrical stems that resemble a rat's tail. Officially named Aporocactus flagelliformis, this plant is admired for its dense, trailing growth habit and can produce vibrant pink or red blooms, making it a perfect addition to any hanging planter or elevated display. Its cascading stems create an eye-catching feature that is sure to add texture and interest to any space.

This succulent thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. It prefers well-draining soil and requires minimal watering, making it a low-maintenance option for those looking for a beautiful, trailing plant. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering and root rot.

The Hanging Rat Tail Succulent is an excellent choice for indoor or outdoor hanging displays, as its long stems naturally cascade over the sides of containers, adding a dramatic, vertical element to any space.
