ey plant friends! 👋🏾 so i never even thought about the possibility that our ric-rac cactus could flower, but look at these! at least 9 buds from this view. anyone have suggestions on how to help the flowers thrive? thought i’d stop here before googling it 🌸

thanks anya! they’re such wild \& crazy-looking cacti 🤩

#### Anya님이 2023-08-20에 답변했습니다.

Did you buy it large or have you been growing it for a long time? I haven’t really seen one that big ☺️

#### Adaeze Noelle님이 2023-08-20에 답변했습니다.

it was a decent size when i bought it back in april from a local nursery, \& it has since doubled in size! just following planta’s suggestions for when to fertilize it seems to have really made a difference in it’s growth 👌🏾

#### Anya님이 2023-08-20에 답변했습니다.

I never knew they grew so quickly! It clearly loves you :)

I just googled the flowers and they’re gorgeous!! 🤩

#### Adaeze Noelle님이 2023-08-20에 답변했습니다.

i just did too! i’m so excited, but apparently they only open at night? i’ll hafta spy on it 🕵🏾‍♀️👀

#### Danika님이 2023-08-20에 답변했습니다.

Ooo please update us with photos of flowers open! You can usually still see them open in early morn hours when you wake.  
I have another variety of night blooming cactus. So magical!  
Only thing i know is you are supposed to fertilize when buds of flowers first start, then pause fertilization until after flowers have expired. Never during. Thats just in general for anything flowering.  
But with these cactus, flowers develop fairly quickly, so 🤷🏻‍♀️, unsure if that rule still applies.

#### Adaeze Noelle님이 2023-08-21에 답변했습니다.

ey danika! thanks for that info! i’d love to see a photo of your variety’s night bloomers too! \& yes i will update with photos! forgot to spy on it last night 😅

#### Adaeze Noelle님이 2023-08-23에 답변했습니다.

thanks monicakay! ooo how large is yours \& how long have you had it?

#### Monicakay님이 2023-09-04에 답변했습니다.

I’ve had it for about 8 months. I was given one leaf. Now it has 5. It’s still in a 4 inch pot.

just so you know i’m pretty sure this is disocactus anguliger, also known as ric-rac cactus, fishbone cactus, or “queen of the night” for it’s large and beautiful night-blooming flowers

#### Adaeze Noelle님이 2023-08-21에 답변했습니다.
